Am I still supposed to find the Scrooge character unlikeable and annoying and irredeemable 75 minutes into a 100 minute movie

ཐི༏ཋྀ ༻𝕙𝕒𝕝𝕖𝕪༺ ཐི༏ཋྀJul 18, 2022After hearing about it for most of my life, I finally got to see it, and boy did I like it. I enjoy stories that take a classic and give it a funny twist while retaining the essence of the overarching storyline. I can't see a child seeing the dead and ghosts in this film…
Rafael "Mister Movie" JovineDec 25, 2021The opening sizzle real of IBC programming is pure gold and I absolutely love the cast… plus the scene transitions and effects work is and Danny Elfman’s score gives Donner’s ahead of its time Dickens take a demented Burton-esque edge—which I’m a mark for so yeah… I adore…

this movie is IN. SANE. bill murray is completely unhinged the entire time and as a character is constantly is pushing back against the message but at the end it has a sweet (yet still insane) conclusion that makes it worth it? idk it’s crazy but i love all the ghosts
Samuel Armer lovedScroogedI forgot how good this is. Bill Murray, a little over the top but this is yet another great ‘A Christmas Story’ retelling and that ending monologue, I remember it making me cry last year when I first watched it and it certainly did the same this year. The ghosts are really fun, past and present,…
MadHattress lovedScroogedIt‘s honestly the only Christmas movie that I like and watch again EVERY CHRISTMAS because it is so hilarious xD It‘s a really fun take at the old Christmas Tale and though I kinda wish they would film a new version I also know no one will be as good as Bill Murry in this role!

This was a completely unhinged fever dream with a crazy plot! I thought I knew what was going to happen cause duh, it’s a Christmas Carol, but nooo they totally mixed it up with this version. Bill Murray is wacko, I love it lol. This is campy Christmas chaos at its best.
AlexAsteroid likedScroogedCould’ve been written a little better. Important time travel bits for example felt rushed when they’re the most important part to his change of heart. However, it wasn’t as bad as I expected it to be. Cute version of a Christmas Carol if you’re looking for another.
aeri is "meh" onScroogedChristmas in this movie, feels like a background. It felt more like, a story of a grumpy guy, who’s story was suppose to make us feel bad, and also make us feel happy seeing him be better. The fact that he disliked Christmas, felt like just something extra. 5/10

One of the classics and will never ever get old. Bill Murray is simply a legend and anything he’s in is great. This has got the typical comedy you’d expect, but is still a meaningful story and film. I do try to watch this each year as it is fun.
Hylas likedScroogedBill Murray plays a guy you can hate. I’ve not watched every variant of A Christmas Carol but this is my favorite. The cast was picked well and there are moments of pure gold. It’s the holidays, give an old movie a view if you are into it. 🔔
Maddie likedScroogedI can see why this film is a Christmas classic! The movie is funny, but it wouldn’t be nearly as good if someone else played Frank. Bill Murray’s charisma is movie magic! Would totally watch again

Metacritic
In Scrooged, a sub-Saturday Night Live re-make parody of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, Ghostbuster Bill Murray busts up two of the festive ghosts (Christmas Past and Future) and mugs more than Mr. Magoo. [24 Nov 1988, p.C19]
Jay Scott
The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
Scrooged is one of the most disquieting, unsettling films to come along in quite some time. 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.
Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times
Scrooged works in fits and starts. The mundane demands of the sentimental story keep interrupting what are, essentially, revue sketches, a few of which are hilarious.
