Bill Murray Movie:

Editorial Review:
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

Scrooged Reviews:
Why did they take out this scene? Why, oh why?
2009-12-10 - There was a scene when the ghost, the one driving a taxi/cab, shot right to the top of the skyscraper to bring Scrooge (Bill Murray) to see Crachit in super fast speed - deleted from the dvd. I thought that was quite funny. Why the hell did they delete this scene from the dvd version? WHY DID THE IDIOTS DO SUCH A LOUSY THING? WHY?

Carol Kane's Performance in This Movie Is a Work of Art
2009-12-01 - The movie "Scrooged" would be a another average holiday production were it not for Carol Kane's remarkable performance as the "Spirit of Christmas Present." From the moment she appears on screen, the film becomes special. Ms. Kane's energy, infinite imagination, and total commitment to her role, produces a richly textured character which is humorous, poignant, and utterly entertaining. In one scene, Ms. Kane tells Bill Murray to close his eyes, and then makes a simply magical speech which perfectly communicates every delicate emotion she wants to convey to us. It was an pleasure watching such a talented actress perform. So, give this pleasant comedy a chance and marvel at what a truly remarkable actress can make of a role.

Verry pleased!
2009-11-12 - I was very pleased with the price, quality and delivery of this product:-) Couldn't be happier!!

Brilliant!!
2009-10-16 - One of the great holiday movies to have a good laugh and celebrate the jolly season.

scrooged!
2009-07-20 - I like when Bill Murray was talking to a ghost for the first time and the ghost warned him that three ghosts were about to visit Bill Murray the next day and Bill Murray said "Maybe I can squeeze them in before breakfast!" which prompted the ghost to grab Bill Murray by the throat and dangle his body outside the building.

Other funny scenes-

- a young Bill Murray receives a pack of meat for Christmas during a "Ghost of Christmas past" moment.

- The "Ghost of Christmas present" kept slapping Bill Murray around Three Stooges style, lol.

- One of his employees had a picture of her childs drawing hanging by the side of her desk, and Bill Murray ripped it up right in front of her.

- When Bill Murray was full of love and feeling positive about everything, the one psycho employee of his that tried to kill Murray with a shotgun (who was chasing Murray around the room a moment earlier) got the surprise of his life- Bill Murray showering him with love and affection RIGHT after "Ghost of Christmas future" showed Bill Murray the error of his ways, lol. Trust me, this part is absolutely great.

Overall, a great movie and a positive message at the very end of the film.
