Watch My Dad Is Scrooge

My Dad is Scrooge is a family-comedy movie directed by Justin G. Dyck, which premiered in 2014. The plot is based on a humorous adaptation of Charles Dickens’ famous novel, “A Christmas Carol.” The movie follows Kevin Moretti, a young boy, who is excited about Christmas, but his father, Robert, is a miserly businessman who despises the holiday season. Robert owns a toy factory, but he is only interested in making profits and doesn't care about the joy that Christmas brings.

As the movie unfolds, Kevin finds a mysterious letter addressed to his father that talks about the ghost of Christmas past, present, and future. Kevin later discovers that his father's deceased business partner sent him the letter, warning him that he would be visited by three ghosts and should prepare himself to face the consequences of his actions. Robert, who is dismissive of the letter, trusts his logical and scientific mind, and he believes that he can easily overcome any obstacle.

However, on Christmas Eve, Robert is visited by the three ghosts, and this changes his whole perception of life. The ghosts take Robert through his past, present, and potential future, and he learns that he is leading a miserable and lonely life, and that his greed is affecting the people around him. Robert has to make significant changes in his life if he wants to become a better person and reconcile with his family.

Throughout the movie, Robert's son, Kevin, acts as the mediator between his father and the ghosts, and tries to guide his father towards redemption. The movie also features comical characters that add to the overall light-hearted tone, such as Robert's eccentric assistant, Miss Dimple, and the bumbling security guard, Bob Cratchit.

The acting in the movie is adequate, with Christian Laurian Kerr playing the role of Kevin with charm and charisma. Charles Shaughnessy, who plays the role of Robert, portrays his character as a pragmatic businessman, who is humorously transformed by the three ghosts. Brian Cook, who plays the role of the deceased business partner through flashbacks, does a commendable job in his limited screen time.

The cinematography is commendable in capturing the festive spirit of Christmas, with stunning visuals of Christmas lights, colorful decorations, and snow-covered landscapes. The music in the movie adds to the festive mood, with popular Christmas carols and original scores that enhance the emotional moments.

Overall, My Dad Is Scrooge is a movie that blends humor, drama, and a moral lesson about the importance of family, generosity, and kindness. Although some of the scenes may feel a bit clichéd, the movie is enjoyable, with strong performances, excellent cinematography, and a heartwarming message that the whole family can enjoy. It's a delightful interpretation of the classic tale that reminds us of the true meaning of Christmas.
