Five years before Groundhog Day, Bill Murray basically plays the same kind of TV jerk transformed by a holiday, but it was a lot darker first time around. The critique of television is, for me, what's funniest. A lavish live performance of A Christmas Carol with the Solid Gold Dancers, mice to attract feline viewers (a growing demographic), and heart-stopping Fox News scare promos sits somewhere in the same space as Network and Max Headroom. Murray is just a little too edgy and unlikable at times, and his transformation is more due to mental breakdown than the appeal to his heart, but this world almost demands it. Those ghosts really do slap him around something fierce, and how could Bill stay sane in the face of that ghost of Christmas future and its rib cage filled with suffering souls? The final scene may, in fact, bring a tear to your eye as the true meaning of Christmas in inevitably invoked. 8 years 10 months ago -

Haha! I thought I had seen this until I saw it on Viaplay in Nov 2021. Lovely movie, but no masterpiece. Fun with a funny touch of Dicken's history and Murrey is as cut and cut (klippt och skuren) for the role. Surprisingly not memorable (I forget some scenes quickly) and won't probably see it again. :) 2 years 5 months ago
