Review: Humbug! Director confuses Scrooge with Stooge

After round two in Jim Carrey vs. Holiday Classics, it's Carrey 2, Classics 0. 'A Christmas Carol' is not the vile desecration Carrey's 'How the Grinch Stole Christmas' was - there are no jokes about mate swapping here - but, like 'Grinch,' it fails to capture what made its source material an enduring classic.
