I can’t believe it took me **three** years to finally complete the intent of watching **this**! 😆🥹😝🤧😄🤩😍🥰😊 I’m _[1]_ so glad I did and _[2]_ kicking myself for taking so long! Then again, it might actually seem like starting in 2022 December and finishing in 2025 December is exactly the minimal temporal shift necessary (in _this_ timeline 😉) to really appreciate the ‘miraculously’ _[i.e., talent, hard work, heart, love, care, heartbreak, hope, persistence, living, appreciation, generosity, … etc. ad infinitum]_ truly-human storied-narrative that even the divine would approve as one of the many things to finally define the best of humanity — something all the universe would want for us (as well as any sentient intelligence that seeks the nature of immersing within all that is light’s brilliance).

Read the whole review on TMDBWow, but this is all over the place. Based very loosely on the Dickens' character from his "A Christmas Carol" story, Will Ferrell is the Ghost of Christmas Present who now works for "Jacob Marley" (Patrick Page) trying to save irredeemable souls from purgatory. This is where Ryan Reynolds comes in. He is "Clint" - a successful influencer who is about as ruthless for his clients as it possible to be.

Still, I'm happy enough with the essential message that people can, in fact, change for the better." Rating: B-
