There's a somewhat contrived jauntiness to this blending of fact and fiction that may leave cynical audiences annoyed. But for those who leave their bah-humbug attitudes at home, it's a wonderfully entertaining take on a classic.

A surprisingly fresh movie about a story we all know very well.

Given the number of successful adaptations of Dickens' work, what is this film trying to add that hasn't already been achieved?

An unexpected pleasure.

An overall very calming, pleasant mediocrity.

This version of events tends to over-explain the inspiration behind the story, undermining the genius of Dickens as an author.

Just like Stevens as Dickens, The Man Who Invented Christmas is immensely likeable, and undoubtedly will having you leaving the theatre feeling more festive than when you entered.

It pushes its hero off his pedestal but delivers him -- like Tom Hulce's Mozart in Amadeus -- to a much better place, the earthy company of fellow citizens who dream of being inspired.
