Scrooged (1988)

Hmph. This should have been much better than it was. As it was, it felt like one joke that was then stretched out to cover an entire movie, and not very well. The funny moments that were there were few and far between, and the movie was almost ruined by that horrid ending speech. Puh-lease. It was nearly as bad as the ending to Elf, another Christmas movie that decided to suddenly tack on a superstupid Christmas message in a terribly cheesy way. Except Elf had a far more interesting story all the way through. I like Bill Murray, and I like retellings of old stories, but this just didn't work for me. 2 stars.
