I like Charles Dickens' Christmas Carol story and I like all of the different movie adaptations of the story and I have several of them on DVD which includes about three that were modern takes on the tale and I must say that out of all the modernized versions this is my favorite and I think this movie was very good and had some scenes and lines that were very humorous and the special effects were pretty good too. Vanessa Williams was very good as Ebony Scrooge a pop star who has become a major diva prone to temper tantrums and treats her staff and everyone else with disrespect and has become greedy and miserly but on Christmas Eve night she is visited by the ghost of Marley her childhood friend and former member of her old singing group who had died a year earlier and has come back to warn her that unless she changes her ways she will be doomed just like she is and later on she is visited by the sassy Spirit of Christmas Past played by Kathy Griffin from the sitcom Suddenly Susan and then from the Spirit of Christmas Present played by John Taylor from the 80's rock band Duran Duran and then by the Spirit of Christmas yet to come which is actually depicted as a very humorous episodes of VH1's Behind the Music. This was originally shown on VH1 and I recommend this to any fan of the Christmas Carol story who is open to different interpitations of it and is not a diehard purist who can only enjoy a Christmas Carol movie if it's exactly like the book so if you are open to something different then I highly recommend this DVD! Also if you enjoyed this movie check out for TV listings for amovie called Ebbie starring Susan Lucci from the Soap Opera All My Children. Ebbie isn't as good as A Diva's Christmas Carol but Susan Lucci also plays a female Scrooge and it's pretty good. Unfortunately that version doesn't seem to be available on DVD or video so you would have to check for TV listings!
