What's wrong with this picture when Jennifer Love Hewitt and her twins are coming off better than the rest of the cast?


Anyone watching L&O:CI?

This is one of the most panifully god-awful things I've ever had the poor judgement to subject myself to. What garbage! A Christmas Carol is one of my most favorite stories. THIS IS ATROCIOUS! Every print should be burned immediately! I HATE everything about it. From the casting to the music to the book to the direction. What a horrible mess! Bah Humbug!

The music is very repetitive and is starting to get annoying. Well, there is only half an hour left, but they should get onto the future, we've been hearing the same song over and over again.

On the bright side, Scrooge's nephew is quite the cutie.

Ugh, I missed it, there's like half an hour left, but there's no point watching it now.

Not to worry, I think my mommy's taping it (I hope!). Heh.

Worse. It's beyond words. But it's like a car wreck. You just can't stop watching.

I was thrilled to see Ruthie Henshall as Scrooge's mother, and was that Linzi Hately as Mrs. Cratchit? Woo Ruthie! and Jesse L. Martin is fabulous.:)

...although im sad to think that after this movie, there could possibly be Jennifer Love Hewitt as Elphaba posts. Grr.

[CurtainUp2]

Posted: 11/28/04 at 11:01pm

On a scale of 1-10, I'd give it a -1. And I'm not trying to be funny. What a disaster!

[musicgal04]

Posted: 11/28/04 at 11:04pm

Linzi Hately was Mrs. Cratchit.

i figured that was Ruthie! it was bothering me!

yeah, it was kind of... well... bad. i was hoping for better. whats really sad is i didn't think JLH was that bad... scary, aint it?

[MagicToDo82]

Posted: 11/28/04 at 11:06pm

Yay for Linzi Hately. Everything comes back to Carrie for me.....:)

i really liked it too -- but i loved the stage version too - going to see it was a yearly tradition for me -i'm not saying it's the best musical of all time or anything, but i loved that they stayed so true to the stage version!!!

During the graveyard scene, did the graveyard look suspiciously like the graveyard from FIDDLER ON THE ROOF dream sequence to anyone else?

It looked identical.

I half-expected Topol to burst in with "But we announced it, Grandma..."
