Fact: when I was working at Staples in San Diego in 2006, Roger Ebert came into my store and asked my associate where to find the red gel ink pens. My head turned the second I heard his voice. It was absolutely him. He then checked out and walked out to a cab. I then went to the cashier and asked if she recognized him. I was like “that was Roger Ebert!” And she was like “who?” I was so disappointed I was the only one who knew who he was in my entire store.

John Goodman was really good too as the devoted husband of Sally Field who struggles to hold their family together while his wife tries to find her own voice in the realm of stand-up.

That being said, I think it's still an excellent adaption of A Christmas Carol, and it has a lot of heart to go with the dark humor. The Ghost of Christmas Past scene with young Murray and young Allen opening presents is so warm and heartfelt that I don't know how you can't feel all warm and happy inside about it. So, yeah, it's not perfect but it's FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR from the worst of the year.

Some of it was good…Tom Hanks actually studied with a real comedian and wrote some proper stand-up material. I liked the “Table Man! He solves crimes at dinner for four!” joke. Plus they did cast some actual comics, like Barry Sobel and Max Alexander
It’s ironic they complain about the studios using the same formula over and over. They had 3 versions of their own show sneak previews, at the movies with Siskel and Ebert, and at the movies.
@Charlesb882 жыл бұрын
It's Not really the same thing now. Having a review show that has different titles under different production companies and/or networks is not really a recycling a formula the way they do in movies. It's no different then a newcaster having different nightly news shows with different titles over the years. The concept of Siskel and Ebert is pretty basic so changing the title isn't really "recycling" the way making multipack movies about a erupting volcanoes and asteroids threwatening to hit the earth is. In their case, they change the title of their shows when they went from PBS to syndication because of rights issues partly and for marketing purposes.
