Reviews for Scrooged
In spite of the jokes at the expense of television-network censors, there's very little in the film, aside from naughty words, that wouldn't be perfectly acceptable on prime-time television.

So-so variant on A Christmas Carol as a Bill Murray vehicle,

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

Top CriticThis is not a 'good movie' -- in fact, it's a sprawling mess -- but I like it.

Dickens would approve.

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.
