Reviews for Scrooged
Top CriticWhenever 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.

Top CriticBill Murray is the one of the greatest screen Scrooges in this 1980s updating.
08/20/09
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.
11/27/07
A number of talented actors appear, but only a few are able to make much of a mark given their limited screentime.

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

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

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.

Necessary viewing during the holidays.
06/04/04
The smart-aleck comedy keeps the holiday cheer from getting too sugary.
05/21/04
Forgetable holiday offering with Murray at his least inspired.
04/30/04
Proves that remakes and new visions of old material need not be redundant.
