MCT:July 18, 2008Put a little love in your heart!"
On the night before Christmas a cruel and self-obsessed television executive is visited by 3 Ghosts...you can see where I'm going with this. One of my favorite Christmas films and since Ted Turner took it upon hi...(read more) mself to play "A Christmas Story" so many times it's almost impossible not to start hating it a little, maybe my favorite Christmas film.
It's a very dark, Christmas comedy which is how I like it "Nightmare Before Christmas", "Hogfather", etc, but like Dickens novel the darkness, makes the sun all the brighter next Christmas mourn.
Richard Donner helped out as an architect of my childhood fantasies with this movie, "The Goonies", and the first two "Superman" movies.
A good holiday film is only measurable by the amount of nostaliga and sentimentality it evokes years later, and this does the trick fine. Let's staple some fake antlers to the heads of mice, and celebrate! -

Utterly hilarious. Such a genius comedic take on the classic Charles Dickens tale. With mention of the whole comedic twist to the old classic, Bill Murray was a perfect casting choice to play a new Ebenezzer Scrooge.
-
MCT:May 22, 2008A great modernization of Dickens' classic. It's the best dark humor Christmas movie you're going to find.

Cute movie in the vein of Ebenezer Scrooge. The lesson is all the same and makes us appreciate what we have:) Cute comedy:)

A timeless story in 1980s wrapping, but still rollicking good fun. Another must-have Christmas movie.

This is kind of a wierd one, but think about it--the story of Ebeneezer Scrooge is sorta strange. This one is wierd, funny, and then heart warming! Bill Murray is great! VHS.

A little known Bill Murray film which in my twisted mind is the best Christmas film ever! It's so fun and Murray's performance just pull's the movie along at a rip roaring rate. It is Murray that makes this film and it's hard to imagine anyone else able to do this role, the character is mean but so likable at the sametime and the script is brilliant but you do have to wonder how much was made up on the day. Please make sure you see this film.

MCT:December 19, 200712-19-07 --In the late 80's they decided to remake A Christmas Carol with our favorite Scrooge. It's kinda cool with the amount of Ghostly type stuff but then it has its retarded moments. I wish they would remake this movie again and have it star people I like.

a update of a a chtistmas carol which transports to 80s newyork and a exec at a tv studio, brilliantly played by bill murrey, faithfully re told, so all the ghosts are present and giving it a modern slant, his studio are even making scrooge as one of there shows, this is definatly in my top 10 christmas movies, as ot perfectly captures the spirit of christmas, and as we see in murreys charactor how not to, great christmas themes, a great look, capturing that time of year, but most inportantly another great show from murrey, hes great in these roles, and unlike a lot of christmas movies, it dosent go overboard at the end with sentimentality, only his transformation, which actually is the point in this, and not just the sake of it

Doesn't do it as well as the latter "Groundhog Day". You can see the potential of Bill Murray as an actor here. Overlooking the amateurish look and resort to slapstick, this movie has a big heart.

this movie is just fucking funny. how could you not like bill murray's peformance as scrooge.
trust me watch this film " yule love it "!!!! -

One of my favorite 'A Christmas Carol' parody/remake. One of Bill Murray's better films. The ending is great because of the 'Little Shop of Horrors' reference when Bill Murray says 'Feed me Seymour.' near the very end of the film. Murray probably did this as a reference since he played a small role as the dentist's weird patient (right before Seymour kills the dentist) in 'Little Shop of Horrors'.

Pretty good movie. Being a fan of Bill Murray, i always thought this was one of his better movies. It may not be the greatest film but it is still pretty funny. A decent update of A Christmas Carol.
-
MCT:December 2, 2007A pretty decent update of the CHRISTMAS CAROL storyline....some funny scenes, and great lines from Bill Murray.

This is a great adaptation of the Scrooge story and the comedy in it works very well.
Bill Murray fills the screen with his energy and with every crazy situation he finds himself in he makes you believe that it could actually happen.
Plus as funny as it is, it's really heart felt in the end.
This is a holiday classic. -

I was well on my way to becoming this guy. Still love his final monologue and Carol Kane can sell a toaster to me any day.

I like this alot, I watch it just about every christmas season. My favorite part is when Bobcat Goldthwait goes after Bill Murray with a shot gun!

One of my FAVORITES. I enjoyed as a kid as I do now! The plot was so different. I never get tired of watching this one. Bill Murray is a terrific actor.
-
MCT:August 19, 2007A contemporary version of the Charles Dickens classic, flawed by bad direction and terrible acting on the part of a poorly chosen cast of mediocre character actors. Bill Murray was an especially poor choice for the leading role, and the screenplay could have been much better.
A major disappointment.
