| Editorial Reviews: | | |  | | Most critics couldn't get behind Bill Murray's modern retelling of Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol, finding it too unfocused at times and not nearly wicked enough. Still, if you're a Murray fan, you have to enjoy his deliciously nasty portrayal of the world's meanest TV executive, who has his cathartic moment one cold Christmas night in New York City. The various ghosts lead him on a ghost-town tour of Manhattan, with stops at holidays past, present, and future and a Kumbaya moment when Al Green and Annie Lennox sing "Put a Little Love in Your Heart." The effects are otherworldly, but one wishes the writing were as sharp as Murray's edgy portrayal. --Marshall Fine | |

| a modern contemporary update on "A Christmas Carol" (4.5/5) | |
| | this is a delightful,well written movie.it's insanely funny with some
good performances Bill Murray plays the "Scrooge" like character and is
pitch perfect in the role.there are also some great supporting
performances.who knew the classic "A Christmas Carol" could be updated
with such hilarious results.this is a feel good movie or at least
becomes one and after viewing,it is hard not to be uplifted.i actually
liked it better than it's source material.i found it more effective.if
you're looking for a profoundly impactful movie,this isn't it. it is a
moving film,but also very fun at the same time.there is one very
strongly moving moment in the movie,which brought tears to my eyes.in
terms of entertainment,this one rates high.for me "Scrooged" is a 4.5/5
| | | | I usually bring my sister wherever in the world I am at Christmas time. She knows I have a copy of Scrooged, but she brings one of her own anyway...full redundancy. This movie is hilarious on every level. It's chock full of obvious simple humor, but you can "dive deep" for humor at almost any point in time and find some unique absurdity that must have had the writer laughing his a@# off at the time of writing. I've you've never seen...well, don't wait for Christmas, get at once. Enjoy...
| | Not very funny and not for the holidays. | |
| | Most mainstream Hollywood movies do not seem to honor or pay any kind of respect to the holidays. This movie was among them, even though Bill Murray's performance as a modern Scrooge, is not nearly as nasty as other parts he has done in the past, it still comes off as being not very funny and not really honest. The movie also sadly shows how commericalized the holidays have become. Skip this picture.
| | TWO WORDS TO WATCH THIS FILM: BILL MURRAY. | |
| | | Bill Murray is a great actor. He can play funny guys, nasty guys, wacky guys, lovable guys, etc. In "Scrooged" he plays all those guys in only one character (Frank Cross). "Scrooged" is a movie set in Christmas, so the best time to enjoy it is definitely in december. Perhaps if the role of Frank Cross, the modern Scrooge, would have been portrayed by other actor, the movie wouldn't have been so entertaining, and that is the sign of a good actor. Every actor that can make better a movie with his/her performance deserves to be called a great actor. I call Bill Murray A GREAT ACTOR.
| | | | ... I guess I'm biased because in my mind Bill Murray can do no wrong - I am that big of a fan. I found Scrooged to be hilarious and a refreshing change of pace from the sugary Christmas Carol originals. Sure they are great movies, but a change of pace that also offers good sentiment at the end is also refreshing. The ghosts of Christmas past in Scrooged are hilarious, especially Carol Kane the "sweet, angelic" ghost who kicks Bill's butt more than once. Some tender moments are when you realize, as the credits run, that Bill's brother in the movie is really played by his real brother, and Bill couldn't have summmed it up any better when he states, at the end of the movie, that Christmas is the one time of year when we all spend a few hours being the kind of people we should be all year long. It's a reminder of all we can and should be. I really enjoyed this movie and plan on buying it on DVD ...
