Review of Spirited (2022) by Tony_In_Dnc — 21 Dec 2022
Do Will and Ryan have the most amazing voices ever? No, they don't. Is it still great fun to see two huge and much adored actors belt out these hilarious (and really catchy) original Christmas tunes while outstanding choreographed dancers and singers support them? Absolutely!
Spirited is a Broadway comedy musical masquerading as a movie, but if you generally love Broadway musicals then you'll probably love this one too! It's very funny, which should be obvious with Will Ferrell and Ryan Reynolds in the lead roles. And the film's messages are on point for the Christmas season: Do good things, even if they are just little things, and the world will be a better place. And... there is hope for most everyone, even those who are the worst of us, if we only just try to be better.
Now both of those messages might seem a little sappy, but this is the hope of the holiday season. And if you are too jaded to appreciate this message or the way that its delivered then your heart is probably as tiny and hard as the Grinch's heart. This holiday season, lighten up, lower your emotional defenses and have a feel good moment with this film.
