A Christmas Karen with Michelle Simms, Rolin Alexis, Ashley B. Jones & Chris Greene now On VOD
Now playing on VOD from FilmRise is the holiday comedy A Christmas Karen, co-directed by Renaissance Entertainment co-founders Jon Binkowski and Lisa Enos Smith. Starring Michele Simms, who first rose to fame as the super excited “Oversharing Mom” in the viral Carvana television commercials (which have been viewed more than 23 million times on YouTube), the film is a modern reimagining of the classic holiday story A Christmas Carol.
The film also stars Meghan Colleen Moroney as Jackie, Ashley Jones as Robin, Rolin Alexis as Gary – Ghost of Past, Leyla Lawrence as Joy — Ghost of Present, and Lee Karlinsky as Damon — Ghost of Future, along with Amina Massai and Chris Greene.
A Christmas Karen centers on an entitled, egocentric middle-aged woman named Karen (played by Simms), whose demanding and inconsiderate nature has alienated her from her neighbors and family alike. After a series of instances displaying her privilege, prejudice and bad attitude on Christmas Eve, Karen receives an “intervention” by three unconventional spirits who take her on a much-needed journey of self-awareness and self-reflection. Using humor to shine a spotlight on the lack of consideration and civility in today’s society, A Christmas Karen is ultimately a story about the power of redemption.
