About This Movie

Ebbie, a 1995 TV movie, offers a refreshing twist on the classic Christmas tale. Set in a contemporary shopping environment, it stars Susan Lucci as Elizabeth 'Ebbie' Scrooge. The atmosphere strikes a balance between the festive and a touch of the cynical, reflecting the pressures of modern commerce during the holiday season. The pacing is steady, allowing the story to unfold with just the right amount of seasonal charm. The three Spirits—each with their own distinctive flair—bring a mix of humor and poignancy, contributing to Ebbie's transformation.
