An exciting film concept that flips the classic story of A Christmas Carol upside down. Featuring a phenomenal cast, the film explores the ideas of making ripples, following our destinies, and how we must be ok with facing our pasts. The ending is rather strange, yet unexpected. Followed by a musical, Will Ferrel and Ryan Reynolds singing styles make this buddy comedy unique and humorous. My only criticism is that the run time could have been cut by twenty minutes if a musical number or two had been abridged. Otherwise, a fun movie for all who love a classic revival,

Only on page a hundred, but I feel a sense of frustration towards Ms. Ehrenreic. She has the luxury to bounce from one job to another when the tough gets going. Rather than tough it out, she throws in the towel on more than one occasion. In reality, many individuals are unable to walk themselves out the back door, and start fresh. Rather, they must deal with the realities that come with working minimum wage jobs in order to support themselves, and other family members. I do, however, praise the author for exploiting the companies that are more in it for profit than benefiting their employees, and sometimes their clientele. She displays (somewhat) compassion towards those who are surrounded and live in poverty, and learns to understand how these employees are not just a number. Rather, they are the faces of mothers, daughters, wives, and grandmothers that yearn for compassion and pay that represents the work they value, rather than a minuscule entity holding the company together.
