Being someone who has long hated Carrey hater I assumed that I would struggle to accept him in this role… instead he brought a vulnerability and depth of humor (without, in my opinion, being hokey).

Scroodge was never meant to become the poor, broken, victim of life he became in later adaptions… in short at least at the start – he shouldn’t have much of a soul.

I agree with Carrey this is as close as you could hope to get to what Dickens had in mind when he wrote the story. Disturbing, and a little twisted with a sense of the grandiose – it describes the movie, and it describes the original book as written as well.
