Reviews for Scrooged
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 CriticA number of talented actors appear, but only a few are able to make much of a mark given their limited screentime.

An appallingly unfunny comedy, and a vivid illustration of the fact that money can't buy you laughs.

Necessary viewing during the holidays.

The smart-aleck comedy keeps the holiday cheer from getting too sugary.
05/21/04
Forgetable holiday offering with Murray at his least inspired.
