Scrooged (DVD, 1999, Sensormatic)

When I was a youngster growing up in St. Louis I was a strange child. I liked listening to K<OX radio (that is a news/talk station). I also enjoy (and still do) nostalgic radio programs.

One evening during the Christmas season KMOX played the rebroadcast of the Campbell's Playhouse "A Christmas Carol". This was the first time I ever heard the story and I loved it. I loved it so much that I got the book and read it - this one one of a very few books I ever read as a child.

I have seen other versions of the Christmas Carol but I never liked any of them more than the old Campbell's Playhouse I heard on the radio.
Then the movie "Scrooged" came out with Bill Murry.

I enjoyed Murry's work on SNL so I decided to watch the movie and fell in love with it.

In fact for many years when I was single I would watch it every Christmas Eve leading up to midnight to ring in Christmas.

Frank Cross (Bill Murry) is a lot like me, I am a bit rude at times towards people and insensitive - in fact there are scene where Frank makes a wisecrack to the musicians who are playing on the streets of New York sounds just like something I would say.

The film, 19 years later, is still a great film. Each time I see it I find something I missed in it before.

Each time I watch it I am reminded I can be a better person and it is never too late to change!

It is very heartwarming and a story that brings tears to my eyes each year - I especially love the closing song - bring a little love in your heart.

This film is great to watch, but I would not let younger children see it as some of it might frighten them.

I have always enjoyed this film. As a fan of Bill?s he did a great job with his role as Frank Cross.

Rest of the cast, John Forsythe, Carol Kane, Robert Mitchum also did wonderful jobs with their roles. Forsythe was a riot to me as the ghost of Bill's old boss/friend. Nice to see three of Bill's brothers in the film.

DVD needed more extras though. Nothing except trailer for the film.

Course, starts out funny. Lee Majors "Eat This". Got off to the right start & stayed there. "Cajun Christmas" with the alligator following the boat.

A different take on the classic Christmas tale.

Love this movie. Made me more in the christmas spirit because it reminded me about what christmas was all about.

If this movie doesn't put you in the Christmas spirit, then it is already too late for you in this lifetime. Good luck in the hereafter. Bill Murray is great as Frank Cross, the main character who goes thru the whole Ebenezer Scrooge spiel. The 3 ghosts are colorfully portrayed by a cab driver, a woman who apparently died in a fairy princess costume (Carol Kane) and a cast of secondary characters in the supporting cast that bring it all together. Alfre Woodard is his harried secretary, who loves her boss, and never stops trying to show him he has some good in him after all. You will even find humor in the sight gags. (example--his office has a mural that reads: "Cross: a thing they nail people to." The legacy of Saturday Night Live is brought to the big and now the small screen via dvd.

Had seen the movie years ago, and wanted to have it in my Christmas Movie collection. Ordered and watched it again! Loved the actors and the story line in an updated version of the Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens.

IT WAS BRAND NEW IN THE WRAPPER. MOVIE WAS FLAWLESS!! EXTREMELY FUNNY MOVIE!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND FOR FAMILY HOLICAY VEIWING!!! GET NEW TWIST ON A CLASSIC CHRISTMAS STORY!!!

i like this movie...i watched it as a kid!...........................................................................................................

It a little twist with modern theme of an old classic christmas story. I enjoyed the movie. The humor was good, it was a good plot , the movie flows well. I loved the cast of actors. I would recommend this movie to christmas lovers like myself, and to those who aren't so into the holiday season.

I haven't seen this film for over a decade and I was so glad to finally get to watch it again. After all this time I was still able to recite lines of dialogue. It made me feel like a kid again. You can enjoy this whether it's the Christmas season or not, as long as you're in the mood for a laugh fest. Superb acting by everyone involved, and of course Mr. Murray in his prime as a comedic genius. I forgot how many cameos were in this! If you've never seen Scrooged it is absolutely worth it to give it a try. And if you did see it years ago, watch it again and see how many parts you really do remember! Good fun for all, and a message to boot.

Without a doubt, this movie's not only a Christmas classic, but a classic movie for the entire! Bill Murray brings home the reality to life of living your life to considering and benefiting others...not only ourselves! Pulling from the classic tale of Charles Dickens, this movie is an anytime reminder to avoid the spooky encounters of a recurring, haunting past filled with bad decisions and begin anew...today...and do something to bless mankind! Without a question, this movie is 5 stars in rating, and 5 stars for reality!

GOD BLESS US EVERYONE!

Funny, Touching and to the point. Great performances and the third ghost - WOW!!! How many ghosts were in Dickens the Christmas Carol - Don't forget there were FOUR!

I was disappointed thought I was going to it for Christmas and found out AFTER I paid that it was out of stock!
