Bill Murray is a hoot in this funny take of THE CHRISTMAS CAROL with it's inspirational ending. Also it was good to see Robert Mitchum in a small role and one of his last film appearances.

Scrooged, though very entertaining, was not up to Bill Murray’s best acting ability but still one of my regular holiday viewing favourites.

I have always enjoyed this film. As a fan of Bill?s he did a great job with his role as Frank Cross. Rest of the cast, John Forsythe, Carol Kane, Robert Mitchum also did wonderful jobs with their roles. Forsythe was a riot to me as the ghost of Bill's old boss/friend. Nice to see three of Bill's brothers in the film. DVD needed more extras though. Nothing except trailer for the film. Course, starts out funny. Lee Majors "Eat This". Got off to the right start & stayed there. "Cajun Christmas" with the alligator following the boat. A different take on the classic Christmas tale.
If this movie doesn't put you in the Christmas spirit, then it is already too late for you in this lifetime. Good luck in the hereafter. Bill Murray is great as Frank Cross, the main character who goes thru the whole Ebenezer Scrooge spiel. The 3 ghosts are colorfully portrayed by a cab driver, a woman who apparently died in a fairy princess costume (Carol Kane) and a cast of secondary characters in the supporting cast that bring it all together. Alfre Woodard is his harried secretary, who loves her boss, and never stops trying to show him he has some good in him after all. You will even find humor in the sight gags. (example--his office has a mural that reads: "Cross: a thing they nail people to." The legacy of Saturday Night Live is brought to the big and now the small screen via dvd.
I purchased this DVD because I heard it was a modern version of the classic story "A Christmas Carol," with comedy added to it. I enjoyed this movie and would recommend it to any big Bill Murray fans.
