Reviews for Scrooged
Whenever Bill Murray is in a film, there's always one simple rule. Give him a decent set-up and you've got yourself a classic.

The smart-aleck comedy keeps the holiday cheer from getting too sugary.

Tacky in the extreme, this self-congratulatory 1988 film is an exercise in hypocrisy, indulging every form of Christmas exploitation that it pretends to attack, and many of the laughs are forced.

Top CriticIt 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.

Frequently funny take on Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" with Murray learning a lesson.

Made in the crappy Murray years between CADDYSHACK and RUSHMORE. A few laughs, but mostly forgettable.

A roaring good time.

Dickens would approve.

I found much of this irreverent modernization of A Christmas Carol to be hilarious, and I commend Murray and director Donner for giving their film a sardonic edge.

Good idea that never fully plays itself out.
