Spirited

"This spiffy musical comedy sure feels like an homage to tried-and-true Hollywood classics. An entertaining holiday jaunt for the whole family, “Spirited” is familiar and formulaic in the best of ways" 

"It takes a while to warm up, but this musical update of a holiday classic (...) should make for 'good afternoon' viewing this season" 

"With Ferrell and Reynolds striking just the right combination of hipster comedy with genuine sincerity, and the musical numbers working as parody but also toe-tapping entertainment, 'Spirited' is holiday cheer for the whole family (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)" 

"Fans of Ferrell and Reynolds — and lovers of capital-m Musicals — will be delighted to find this under their tree" 

"Will Ferrell and Ryan Reynolds turn ‘A Christmas Carol’ into a boisterous bro musical" 

"'Spirited' is an amusing, buoyant and good-natured entertainment (...) Director Sean Anders largely keeps the film moving apace —though at more than two hours, some judicious cutting might have been a plus" 

"'Spirited' feels like it was built on the factory floor of Apple, combined of spare parts and made slick in the hopes of impressing audiences, and resulting in a very mixed bag from top to bottom"
