Ryan Reynolds had the perfect co-star for his only Christmas movie
Directed by Sean Anders, the Christmas musical comedy film Spirited was released on November 11, 2022, in theaters. The movie received positive reviews from critics. However, one of the most interesting aspects of Spirited is an unexpected duo. Ryan Reynolds teamed up with comedy hero Will Ferrell for the movie.
Their chemistry in the movie was also loved and praised by critics. Apart from this duo, there are more reasons to watch the movie, including its brilliant storytelling.
Ryan Reynolds’ Spirited is adapted from a famous novella
Spirited follows the story of the Ghost of Christmas Present, played by Will Ferrell, who meets media consultant Clint Briggs, played by Ryan Reynolds. Through this journey, the ghost also confronts his own past.
It is a modern reimagining of Charles Dickens’s 1843 novella A Christmas Carol. This fresh take on the classic story is an interesting turn that is sure to pique interest. Not to mention, the right mix of comedy and chaos is truly enthralling.
Unsurprisingly, the movie received a 70 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes. It is the perfect movie to turn to this holiday season. What adds a cherry on top is that it is not just yet another Christmas-themed movie.
Why Ryan Reynolds’ Spirited is the perfect festive film
Both stars of the movie, Ryan Reynolds and Will Ferrell, admitted that music and dancing were not easy while filming the movie.
“The most challenging part of singing and dancing is that you work on them separately, and you kind of forget that you have to do them simultaneously,” Will Ferrell told The Hollywood Reporter. However, they took up the challenge for this movie. It is safe to say, they did not disappoint. And yes, the entire story happens in a musical!
