An Underrated Christmas Classic
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I remember seeing this movie in the theaters at age 14 on Christmas night when it came out. It's a hilarious twist on the Charles Dickens classic and Bill Murray is downright perfect for the role. He is snarky, smug, sarcastic as a horrible boss that could care less about anybody but himself. Then of course he's visited by the 3 ghosts and his outlook on life changes for the best. Carol Kane's cameo as the Ghost of Christmas Present is the funniest part, in my opinion. I watch this movie with my family every Christmas season.

Scrooged - A Laugh Out Loud Holiday Film
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review."Scrooged" is one of the best top ten holiday comedies ever produced on the big screen. It is a spoof of Charles Dickens "A Christmas Carol" with dialogue and sight gags which provides plenty of laughter. And Carol Kane as the ghost of Christmas present was laugh out loud funny. The sound track is great too with many memorable tunes and medleys. If this film doesn't put you in the Christmas spirit, nothing will. Don't miss it!

What a snow job on this one???!!!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is such a laugh riot if you can reference the different stages of the film to every cameo of celebrity that shows up in the film. The ghost of Marley, his business partner, makes you think of what Trump may be considering as he trolls the golf courses again. Karen Allen nearly steals the show still staying true to the Scrooged/Murray character in act two. Carol Kane (perfect casting there on Jim Henson's part) describes what it is like to get missle-TOE, wham!!! Right on the foot. I could go on & on, but I won't, other than the questionable choice of Mary Lou Retton as Tiny Tim?

A Christmas Carol for the 80's and BEYOND!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.What else can be said that hasn't already been said about this late 80's Yuletide classic? It's become a staple amongst moviegoers and cinema fans alike every holiday season and for good reason. It's a film that take's the classic Dickens tale and updates it with a great deal of style and flair. Bill Murray is a joy to watch, even when he's demeaning his co-workers, and the remainder of the ensemble cast doesn't fall short either! The Blu Ray unfortunately is lacking in pretty much every department as far as extras go, but provides a solid video/audio presentation. This is a film that deserves better! If the price is right and you don't have the DVD, snag it, if not, I'm sure a better edition is down the road somewhere!

One of the greatest holiday movies of all time!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I mostly got this to get the digital copy to insure I have the almighty Bill Murray on the go, because when this movie was made, they couldn't fathom the high definition that is our standard today, so the blu ray copy isn't necessary, although it is pretty sweet. The holidays aren't complete without watching this film at least once in my house, and this is the best version out there. The digital copy insures I get to enjoy this whenever, wherever, holidays or not, so this is truly a must have for the movie collection, and if you're not a Bill Murray fan, you don't really have any business watching movies in the fist place ;o)

Great Adult Holiday Film!
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First saw this in theaters as a kid. Fun film! Not exactly a kid's movie (especially not by today's standards), but more of an adult holiday movie with some laugh. Recommend picking it up to watch during Christmas time

Classic 80s version of Dicken's Christmas
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you're A Christmas Carol & 80s comedy fan, this is a must add to your annual Christmas DVD viewing. Bill Murray is at his over-the-top best as an obnoxious, politically incorrect, TV exec (aka Ebeneezer Scrooge), and has an excellent supporting cast (Robert Mitchum, John Forsythe, David Johansen, Carol Kane, & Bobcat Goldthwait, and of course, Karen Allen, to name a few). To many 80s references to count so those not familiar will miss some of the humor. Still a great laugh after all these years. Celebrate your Christmas holiday with Bill & friends!

Entertaining, Creative Take on Dickens' Classic
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a hilarious take on Dickens' classic. Murray is great as the modern day Scrooge. All of the actors are great in this besides Murray: Alfre Woodard, Karen Allen, and all of the ghosts are great. My favorite ghost is the Ghost of the Past- he's hysterical. This movie is inappropriate for kids, though. I first saw a relatively cleaned up version of this movie in 1996 when I was nine, and I really enjoyed it. So, just be aware that the full edition of this movie is for teens and adults. Anyway, it's just not Christmas without this hilarious, and I think, the most successful reinterpretation of Dickens' work.

Modern Christmas Classic, but.....
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This review is not about the actual movie itself, which is modern-day Christmas staple, but about the packaging. At under $10 for both the DVD & Blu-ray discs it's a steal. BUT, be warned the included digital download will only work on iTunes, VUDU, or Sony's own Ultraviolet digital copy service. NO direct ability to add this to Movies Anywhere's digital library.

Classic but Lacking in Extras
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Despite being a holiday classic, this particular release could've benefited from bonus material besides a trailer. It's not uncommon for certain titles to not have much in terms of extras but this is one of the best holiday films and comedies from the 1980's and in general.

Not your traditional Christmas movie
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you’re tired of the usual Christmas movie treacle, put this in your player. At my place, it’s in the top 3 Christmas movies watched every year: “A Christmas Story”, “Die Hard” and “Scrooged”. For my money, Bill Murray’s best film. Of course, if a twisted spin on a holiday classic is not your cup of eggnog, be advised to look elsewhere.

Awesome classic, never gets old (despite being 30)
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Definitely a classic movie not because of it being based on Scrooge, but by Bill Murrays great performance. I’ve always loved this film and having it be based around modern(ish) times rather than in the 1800’s gives it a bit of a new flair from the typical Scrooge adaptations. If you’ve never seen, then now would be a good time.

Scrooged is a classic - to me!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Different Christmas movie, it’s a version of A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. It does have some violence so may not be good for the real young kiddos. I watched it with my 10yo son. It’s won of the “newer” lol Christmas movies I watch in December.

Introduced an old favorite to the next generation!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This year my boys were FINALLY old enough to watch one of my favorite holiday movies EVER! Bill Murray is a scream and there's an amazing supporting cast. I wouldn't suggest it for kids under 12 (they wouldn't understand most of the really funny parts anyway) and some of the pop culture references are dated but it really doesn't matter - - one of Bill Murray's best!
