The TVI Take

Mark Waters's 2009 Matthew McConaughey vehicle that loosely adapts A Christmas Carol into romcom register. The Michael Douglas uncle-as-Marley conceit is more carefully thought-out than the trailers suggested.

McConaughey's playboy-confronts-his-past performance is genre-competent work; the screenplay earns its premise without reaching for it.
