DVD Reviews of Scrooged
DVD Review: missed the mark
Summary: 1 Stars
This unfunny,christmas carol satire totally missed the mark in
my book. It wasted talented actors with a really god-awful script.
I didn't laugh once.
DVD Review: SCROOGED
Summary: 5 Stars
MY HUSBAND AND I LOVED THIS MOVIE! WITH ALL THE REMAKES OF SCROOGE, BILL MURRAY AND CAROL KANE MAKE THIS THE FUNNIEST! GREAT FOR THE KIDS, TOO! NO FOUL LANGUAGE IN IT!DVD Review: Great movie but...
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a great movie, but the quality and special features of this DVD are lacking. I remember watching this movie when it camed out and liking it. I wanted to learn more as you often do when something comes out on DVD, deleted scenes, gag reels, actor/director comments... not much here though.DVD Review: Ebaneazer, revisited
Summary: 4 Stars
I had seen most of it on TV several years ago and was okay with it, wasn't really thrilled, but found it entertaining. However, when I recently ordered it via Amazon, and watched it again, I found it better than I had rememebered and thoroughly enjoyed it as a new Christmas movie showing. Obviously, it cannot be really compared to being a remake of the original "A Christmas Carol" movie (Alastair Sim's being the best), but instead, this is more a modern telling of the story while paying tribute to the original (in much the same way "Family Man" or "Santa Clause 3" somewhat does with the storyline of "It's a Wonderful Life"--one of the best movies of all time). For those who haven't seen "Scrooged", it's about a successful (depending on how he measures success) TV exec (Bill Murray) preparing to broadcast a live play/musical of "A Christmas Carol". Murray's character and the movie is similar to "Groundhog Day" in it's darkness, yet perhaps a little more meaner...but to well played comic effect, which plays out to the very meaningful, heart-warming end of good-will to others, though perhaps it could have been more meaningful with a little more pointing towards the First Christmas story (like Dicken's story did in mentioning the meaning behind the Christ), but it's still a fun ride. I wouldn't recommend for young children, there's some bad language throughout and some perverse references here and there. DVD Review: Hilarious holiday flick with a nice message too
Summary: 5 Stars
A family favorite, great comedy approach to the classic Christmas Carol story...live a full, giving life and life gives back to you! Appropriate for the preteen set and older folks too.
Description of Scrooged
A modern, comedic telling of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol.Genre: Feature Film-Comedy
Rating: PG13
Release Date: 13-AUG-2002
Media Type: DVD
Most critics couldn't get behind Bill Murray's modern retelling of Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol, finding it too unfocused at times and not nearly wicked enough. Still, if you're a Murray fan, you have to enjoy his deliciously nasty portrayal of the world's meanest TV executive, who has his cathartic moment one cold Christmas night in New York City. The various ghosts lead him on a ghost-town tour of Manhattan, with stops at holidays past, present, and future and a Kumbaya moment when Al Green and Annie Lennox sing "Put a Little Love in Your Heart." The effects are otherworldly, but one wishes the writing were as sharp as Murray's edgy portrayal. --Marshall Fine
