A meaningful Christmas Carol this is not, but a perfectly entertaining yuletide comedy this certainly is.
November 27, 2007
An appallingly unfunny comedy, and a vivid illustration of the fact that money can't buy you laughs.

A number of talented actors appear, but only a few are able to make much of a mark given their limited screentime.

In spite of the jokes at the expense of television-network censors, there's very little in the film, aside from naughty words, that wouldn't be perfectly acceptable on prime-time television.

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.

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

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.

Bill Murray is the one of the greatest screen Scrooges in this 1980s updating.
