Could someone please keep Jim Carrey and director Robert Zemeckis away from cherished holiday classics? We’ve already had to endure Carrey mugging it up as the Grinch while Zemeckis turned “The Polar Express” into a bloated and freaky-looking theme park attraction, and now these two have gone and put the stink on Charles Dickens’ beloved “A Christmas Carol.”
While Zemeckis’ brand of ooh-cool-it’s-3-D filmmaking added zest to “Beowulf,” here it just gets in the way. Remember how completely superfluous that runaway-train segment was in “Polar Express”? Multiply that by numerous flying-over-London and scary-carriage-on-the-rampage sequences this time around.
