Chug the egg nog and harass the homeowner’s association, it’s time to celebrate the holidays with a silly indie film that demands to speak to your manager.
Welcome to Lights, Camera, Remake, where we try to determine whether Hollywood has truly run out of ideas. Some of those ideas have been remade literally a hundred times.
About 35 and counting if we’re just talking cinematic adaptations.
That’s right, we’re covering a Christmas Carol adaption, but this one is a lot saucier and involves a Scrooged-like delivery in sunny Celebration, Florida.
A Christmas Karen (2022)
IMDB Description: Karen is an entitled middle-aged woman whose demanding nature has alienated her neighbors and family. After a series of instances displaying her privilege and prejudice, she receives an "intervention" by some unconventional spirits.
***
On each episode we’ll look at a movie and its remake, or sometimes a movie and its sequel, to determine if Hollywood rehashed it for a reason or for a cash grab.
