Cute spin on a Christmas classic

It's christmas time again so you'll need to watch a few Christmas/Holiday themed films to get things rolling in the spirit department.I will say this will not be an all-time favorite on people's list but it's a cute spin on an all-time Christmas classic.This film could have easily been rated high if not for Tom Arnold. I will admit he got better as the movie progressed because he's more of a comedic actor, so his Scrooge-esque character was a bit annoying and very nasally during the first 30mins or so. Once he started getting a little more cheerful in his demeanor it helped the film out a lot.The real gem of this movie is Leslie Jordan, he was hilarious in every scene and Andrea Roth was solid throughout. They were the reason this film didn't sink into D-level movie territory.

If you like Andrea Roth, it's worth seeing.

The latest in the infinite TV movie re-workings of "A Christmas Carol," this movie - shown on the ABC Family Channel under the title "Chasing Christmas" - has some sense of fun and an occasional witty touch. But the main reason to see it is Andrea Roth's performance as "Present," a.k.a. the Ghost of Christmas Present. Without having all that much to work with in the script, she creates an attractive character who balances her sense of responsibility to her ghostly duties against a dawning appreciation of the daily pleasures of normal life. She even manages to make believable those moments when she needs to convey a romantic interest in Tom Arnold's Scrooge stand-in. At any given moment in Hollywood history, there always seem to be some good actresses who lack only a breakthrough role to reach the level of success they deserve. This movie doesn't give Roth that role, but - notwithstanding whatever weak points it has - it does let us enjoy her skill, intelligence, and charm. There's worse ways to pass two hours on a December evening.
