Scrooged

Scrooged is one of those movies where Bill Murray is hilarious. He has that straight deadpan look and then goes all nuts. I just love it. The cast of characters in this movie is also very funny. The movie has David Johansen (aka Buster Poindexter) as the Ghost of Christmas Past. He was a cigar smoking cab driving ghost. Carol Kane as the Ghost of Christmas Present. She was hilarious with all the beating up on Bill Murrary’s character. This was one of the more funny takes on the Christmas Carol theme. Even Bobcat Goldthwait was in it in a Bob Crochet sort of role. One of my favorite parts was on the set of the movie Bill Murray’s character was producing and the set designer or animal handler comes up to Bill’s character as explains that the antlers won’t stay on the mice. Murray asks, “Did you try staples.” The movie was just filled with twisted humor like that and Murray is the only guy who can deliver in that way. So, get in the holiday spirit with Scrooged.
