The chemistry that Ryan Reynolds and Will Ferrell share feels forced, making their friendship feel phony to the audience, for a film whose main attraction is the bromance.

Given its 127-minute runtime, “Spirited” could have been even better if director Sean Anders had trimmed some of the self-referential humor and fully embraced the holiday spirit.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 9, 2023

While there’s no such thing as too many Christmas Carol adaptations, Apple 온라인카지노추천’s Spirited falls a bit short in its emotional heart as it focuses more closely on the music and the comedic beats.

| Jul 23, 2023

Spirited is a missed opportunity, but it’s an enjoyable enough film nonetheless, and it’s still bound to give you “that Christmas morning feelin'” and put you in a good mood.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 23, 2023

Spirited is a fun and special film that feels both timely and classic. The humor is solid and the jokes are equal parts provocative, silly, and family friendly.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Feb 14, 2023

Spirited is a brilliant holiday film meant for an adult audience, packed with some great jokes, lively performances, catchy musical numbers, and topped off with an emotional ending I wasn’t really prepared for.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Jan 4, 2023

Octavia Spencer is giving me life as a romantic lead and singing her face off in this holiday musical comedy reminding audiences that a choice can always change your life and sometimes for the better

Full Review | Dec 29, 2022

All in all, this spiritual intervention, powered by silly antics and autotuned singing, ultimately delivers an entertaining 鈥� and at times, even interesting 鈥� take on the classic Christmas tale.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Dec 28, 2022

A big-hearted albeit goofy reimagining of Charles Dickens's Christmas classic, filled with lively and entertaining musical numbers.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Dec 26, 2022

Spirited revels in being a campy, musical reimagining of A Christmas Carol. The movie combines formulaic comedy with unexpected plot twists and catchy songs. The cast members also look like they're having fun, which brings some enjoyment to watching.

| Dec 24, 2022

All in all, this one is an uneven Christmas endeavor with amusing moments thanks to the two leads and the always lovely Octavia Spencer as Ferrell’s love interest.

| Dec 24, 2022

A horrifically bloated 127 minutes.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 24, 2022

Elf scribe David Berenbaum puts a whimsical spin on a thoroughly enjoyable Charles Dickens holiday staple.

| Original Score: B+ | Dec 23, 2022

It’s easy to see how Spirited could enter the Christmas circulation as a flawed but entertaining holiday favourite. 

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 20, 2022

The most consistent pleasures in this uneven movie are when Ferrell and Reynolds are onscreen together, comically insulting each other.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Dec 11, 2022

It is a bizarre and somewhat grotesque rewriting of the story鈥檚 moral... seen through the lens of bothsiderism.

| Dec 6, 2022

‘…Like it or not, Spirited is likely to join the pantheon of festive favourites; it may be overstuffed, but then again, overstuffed is partly what a holiday like this is all about….’

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 6, 2022

It鈥檚 big, obnoxious and has (shudder) a lot of musical numbers delivered with outrageously enthusiastic choreography.

| Dec 5, 2022

An early swing to the holiday season, "Spirited" is better than it has any right to be, even if the script does need a tad more fine-tuning.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Dec 3, 2022

Just when you thought Dickens' story couldn’t endure another fresh take, along come Will Ferrell & Ryan Reynolds in “Spirited,” focusing not merely on a Scrooge figure but the behind-the-scenes operation of the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present & Future.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 2, 2022
