Corrected entry: In all the versions of the movie and in the book as well there is the same mistake. When the ghost of Christmas Present takes Scrooge it is 2 o'clock A.M. All the scenes are of Christmas morning and day of that year. That would be in the future. A matter of hours but still the future.
A Christmas Carol (2009)
1 corrected entry
Starring: Gary Oldman, Colin Firth, Jim Carrey, Steve Valentine
Factual error: At the beginning Scrooge is seen signing Jacob Marley's death certificate in the year 1836. English Birth, Marriage & Death certificates didn't come into being until 1837.
Ebenezer Scrooge: I'm light as a feather! Merry as a schoolboy!
Question: What is Mr. Scrooge's business exactly, and what does Bob Cratchit do?

Correction: The rule of what constitutes the "present" is never explained (not to mention that the ghosts are hallucinations/dreams). Christmas Present refers to this current Christmas, as opposed to next year's Christmas or last year's Christmas. No mistake.
