Scrooged / USA / 1988
This film really wants to have it’s cake and eat it, decrying the crass commercialization of Christmas while having Jacob Marley explode through a locked door in a shower of sparks. It’s consistently dumbed down, too, insisting on calling it’s source material ‘Scrooge’, and ending with the Ghost of Christmas Future (what ‘Yet To Come’ was too hard to understand?). It’s only intermittently funny, and the Ghost of Christmas Present is annoying beyond belief. But it’s fun to see David Johanssen being surprisingly effective as Christmas Past, and Bill Murray, complete with amazing 80’s slimeball haircut, is good value as ever.

Only Bobcat Goldthwait could’ve turned a shotgun-wielding, homicidal lunatic into a genuinely likable character.
