Trailer for Disney’s A Christmas Carol with Jim Carrey
September 26, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
There’s no doubt that Jim Carrey is a talented actor, and he has such a diverse list of movies on his IMDB page. Sometimes they work and sometimes not. My favorite is probably “The Truman Show,” but I’m not so big on the goofier ones like “Ace Ventura” and “Dumb & Dumber.” My son likes those, though.
Some of his recent movies, like “Yes Man” and “Fun with Dick and Jane,” were nice, but completely forgettable. In a way, it almost seems like he’s trying to find his footing again. We’ll see if he can do that with “A Christmas Carol,” in which he plays the iconic Ebenezer Scrooge (as well as all three ghosts).
Directed and written by Robert Zemeckis, this CG-animated movie also features the voices of Robin Wright Penn, Colin Firth, Gary Oldman and Michael J. Fox. It’s rated G and arrives in theaters just in time for the holiday season, on Nov. 6, 2009. Here’s the trailer. The animation reminds me of “Polar Express,” which isn’t surprising considering Zemeckis also directed that movie.
