I believe this is the worst adaptation of the Dickens classic to ever be made. Ironically, the "Scrooge" figure (Bill Murray in one of his least inspired roles) is a TV producer overseeing the worst adaptation of A Christmas Carol ever... Full review

The best humorous, sarcastic, charming and sentimental redemptive ending of the classic story. Murray's Frank Cross finally comes to his senses as he realizes that he may have gained the whole world, but without charity love, he's lost his soul.... Full review

I refer, of course, to Richard Donner 's should-be-a-ubiquitous-classic satirical reimagining of the story, the 1988 near masterpiece Scrooged . ... Full Review

SCROOGED is a funny, angry, very cynical take a Christmas classic. The Ghost of Christmas Past is the wonderful Carol Kane who's a sadistic ghost that shows Frank the true meaning of suffering by kicking him in the balls, punching him in the face, and hitting him with a toaster. ... Full Review
