This is one of my all time favorite movies. I see more and more jokes every time I want it. Carol Kane is a stand out. I can't get through this movie with a dry eye. I watch at least 3 times a year. It was a very creative spin on an old and otherwise worn out story. You can't go wrong with this movie. Bill Murray's best movie.

A Christmas movie that shouldn't be on your top list. If you have a long list of Christmas movies to go through, I recommend that you take this to your bottom list as it is superseded by other high quality movies. I am going to quote what Roger Ebert said as it pinpoints the exact state of the movie: >quote “Scrooged” is one of the most disquieting, unsettling films to come along in quite some time. It was obviously intended as a comedy, but there is little comic about it, and indeed the movie’s overriding emotions seem to be pain and anger. This entire production seems to be in dire need of visits from the ghosts of Christmas." For a Christmas Carol adaptation, I advise you to go look at : https://trakt.tv/movies/scrooge-1951 or https://trakt.tv/movies/a-christmas-carol-1999 or for an animated version https://trakt.tv/movies/a-christmas-carol-2009

A film that follows the formula of Charles Dickens' classic Christmas story, only adapted for the film's time period. It may be a positive point for those who appreciate fidelity, but personally, I expected a more satirical and innovative approach to the original story. Despite this, it still provides several laughs at different moments in the plot.

Still a great damn movie. Sad that Murray and Donner battled on the set. Not sure if I noticed the "free south Africa" BS Donner was pushing then (poster in the assistant's house and the control room studio) too bad he wasn't around to see what South Africa is doing to its white citizens now.

[3.8/10] I’ve often felt like X-mas movies get a little bump when it comes to public appreciation. Something about the holiday season makes us a little more likely to open ourselves up to sap, to give leeway to the silly or ridiculous, to accept blatant heartstring tugging, because it feels right More

Surprisingly, I didn't enjoy 'Scrooged' all that much.

I never really clicked with this 1988 release whilst I was watching it. Bill Murray is fine, the Ghost of Christmas Past is good and the bits of the plot involving Alfre Woodard's character are decent. That's all I have for noteworth More

Does Bill break the 4th wall or is he talking to the TV audience? I mean, this movie and the argument my parents had after it was how I learned what the 4th wall was... and for the record, I side with Mom, he was clearly breaking it.

You already know the plot, which is nice about these movies, y More

Not this time Bill, not this time.

This time, Bill's signature antics worked against him.
I don't know what happened, maybe Bill just didn't want to play in this movie, but he overacted too much in all scenes, whether comic scenes or dramatic ones, it doesn't matter.

There was only one scene More
