This ain't your usual Christmas Carol ... On a freezing cold Christmas Eve, a group of homeless people who have banded together to form an unconventional family, discover a worn copy of Dickens' A Christmas Carol and decide to stage their own reenactment. With a heavy tip towards revisionism, their version features a telethon for Tiny Tim and an interpretation of Marley's ghost that sports a reggae vibe not found in the classic novella. A highly irregular holiday tale, Tiny Tim is Dead is a wry and wickedly amusing comedy that comes with a side helping of delicate poignancy.
