It's not a bad notion for a satiric comedy and this one begins well, but then veers entirely out of hand until it's as over-inflated as its own Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come and as funny as a mugging.

On balance... Bill Murray's lazy humor carries the movie up until his genuinely sweet relationship with an old girlfriend.
November 19, 2019 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review… -
Despite the juicy, on-the-edge craziness, Murray is able to layer his outrageous histrionics with an inner sensibility, making his ultimate transformation not only believable but Christmas-cheer uplifting.

Murray doing what he does best, if you like that sort of thing.
November 9, 2011 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review… -
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.
November 27, 2007 | Rating: 1/4 -
An appallingly unfunny comedy, and a vivid illustration of the fact that money can't buy you laughs.

Sep 13, 2015A very dark tale of the well known Scrooge tale that is full of dark humour, The film starts off well but gets abit too serious and weird but a good performance by Bill Murray just about gets us through the weird stuff, It's not for kids as some bits may scare them.Jamie C Super Reviewer

Dec 13, 2014Scrooged is a Christmas film without any spirit. Bill Murray is pretty bad and the film is an unfunny mess of mean-spirited humor. Not necessary for seasonal enjoyment. Rating: 44Bradley J Super Reviewer

Nov 30, 2014Yeah it's a mess but I've always found the movie's insanity appealing. It takes a lot of risks both narratively and visually which, given the mostly dismal state of current Holiday comedies, makes it more enduring every year.Alec B Super Reviewer
