What to Know

Critics Consensus

Although it adds little to the long tradition of Dickens adaptations, Spirited is so genially overstuffed that it's easy to at least intermittently enjoy.

Spirited | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Christy Lemire FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) It just keeps going, my goodness. Nov 30, 2022 Full Review Spirited | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Thelma Adams AARP Movies for Grownups It’s a funny, bouncy romp with strong singing and dancing talent and just the right touch of snark to please any Scrooge. Rated: 4/5 Nov 19, 2022 Full Review Spirited | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Kevin Maher Times (UK) There’s a delightfully eccentric song called Good Afternoon that rocks... The rest of the film is a turgid yawn that struggles with its too-high concept. Rated: 2/5 Nov 18, 2022 Full Review Spirited | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Tamma Moksha The Hindu The chemistry that Ryan Reynolds and Will Ferrell share feels forced, making their friendship feel phony to the audience, for a film whose main attraction is the bromance. Jun 11, 2024 Full Review Spirited | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Kevin Slane Boston.com Given its 127-minute runtime, “Spirited” could have been even better if director Sean Anders had trimmed some of the self-referential humor and fully embraced the holiday spirit. Rated: 2.5/4 Aug 9, 2023 Full Review Spirited | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Gissane Sophia Marvelous Geeks Media While there’s no such thing as too many Christmas Carol adaptations, Apple TV’s Spirited falls a bit short in its emotional heart as it focuses more closely on the music and the comedic beats.

Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/11/23 Full Review Fern Y Clever premise, and I really wanted to love it, but unfortunately the movie was just okay. It had a few clever moments but overall it was just okay. In addition, the movie was way too long. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/10/23 Full Review Karen I loved it!
