Powered by Reelgood Will Ferrell returns to the holiday movie genre with the incredibly high-concept Spirited on Apple TV+ — and he brought Ryan Reynolds and Octavia Spencer along for the ride. Spirited presents Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol in a bold new fashion, and it's also a musical. Unlike all the straightforward Christmas romcoms you've been bingeing on cable, this holiday movie has a whole lot going on. But will Spirited lift your spirits or make you say 'bah humbug'? SPIRITED: STREAM IT OR SKIP IT? The Gist: Will Ferrell stars as the Ghost of Christmas Present, one of the most essential ghosts at the afterlife office that handles haunting one jerk every Christmas Eve in the hopes that they'll change their ways.
