I own every version of Dicken's Christmas Carol that I can find, and they all have their good points. In "Chasing Christmas" the "scrooge" character is about as unlikeable as any I've seen, because this one is the dad of a beautiful teenage girl who longs for a normal Christmas. Her dad, who is embittered about Christmas because he caught his wife cheating on him on a Christmas Eve 7 years ago, hates everything about Christmas. Of course there are the usual Ghosts of Christmas, but in a unique twist, the Ghost of Christmas Past is also embittered at the world he sees now, and wishes to live in the past himself. Scrooge and Christmas Present embark on a funny and touching race to find "Past" before midnight, when everyone will be stuck in the past forever.
Not the greatest version of the classic, but a fun and likeable one.

There are several versions of "A Christmas Carol", and even if this may not be called that the story is basicly the same. Tom Arnold hates Christmas because his ex-wife cheated on him with his dentist on Christmas Eve. When he finally becomes enlightened by things he has no control over with the visits of Christmas spirits, it begins to sink into his head that he doesn't have it so bad. A reasonably decent romantic comedy for the holidays. Recommend you rent it first unless you are a huge Arnold fan.
January 2, 2008I love Christmas movies and wasn't disapointed in this one. It was sappy but good. Surprising Tom Arnold was believeable in this part.
December 8, 2007I enjoyed this movie very much. I could watch it again and again. I just wish the dvd was a little bit cheaper.
April 16, 2007Good twist on an old tale. Tom Arnold is fun and the other actors, too. My family will watch this one season after season.
