Scrooged

1988 - PG-13 - 8/10 - Bill Murray as Ebeneezer Scrooge, Say Less.

Drop Scrooge in the excessive 80s New York and you get Scrooged. Filled with biting satire and cynical snark that still hits. Bill Murray puts in a classic performance good enough you can’t really imagine it being anyone else in the role. The effects are effective enough here and the pace and directing never get in the way. What you get is what you want from Groundhog Day-era Bill Murray at the top of his game smashed up with a modernized (now 40 years ago but not jolly ole England) version of a classic.
