I said "yes" to recommendation because I'm kind of on the fence with this one. Definitely not a kids movie. I was not impressed with 3D effects, the film lacked the emotion of the original story and I found myself wondering in "Christmas future" what the last guy in the line was doing with his nose when the 3 guys were wondering what would become of Scrooge's money at his death. I certainly hope it was not what it appeared to be. If in fact, it was, "shame on Disney".
