Entertainment Reviews:
3 stars out of 5 -- Donner gets mileage from the strain of arch-cynicism Murray patented before his appointment as cinema's don of droll disappointment.
Total Film
Rating: 1/4 --
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.
Chicago Reader
Scrooged is, indeed, phenomenally loud, and also very mean, and somehow also ultimately heartening, in a loopy yuletide sort of way.

The Ringer
Rating: 3/4 --
On balance... Bill Murray's lazy humor carries the movie up until his genuinely sweet relationship with an old girlfriend.

Chicago Tribune
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.

Rating: 5/5 --
Murray, it's clear today, was the perfect Scrooge of the '80s.

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

Product Description:
A network TV president is perhaps the most cold-hearted man ever, but his holiday spirit is given a painful booster shot by three vengeful ghosts. In this darkly comic updating of Charles Dicken's Christmas classic A CHRISTMAS CAROL, Bill Murray portrays Frank Cross, an evil, crass, executive who caters to the lowest-of-the-lowest common denominators, firing people whenever he wants to and for the flimsiest of reasons. Therefore, to change his cruel and tasteless ways, Cross is taken on a trip through his past to his future, accompanied by ghosts David Johansen and Carol Kane, so that he can achieve redemption. From a screenplay by SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE's "Mr. Mike," Michael O'Donoghue. Academy Award Nominations: Best Makeup.
