Like Shakespeare, Charles Dickens Adaptations number of Christmas Carol seems to be in the thousands. 1843 Dickens story, the development of the non-religious message of Christmas to feel good about "Life is beautiful, the benefactors of Christmas, life can be so happy!" With a vengeance. The filming for the first time in 1910, and since then we have a Muppet version, a version of Mickey Mouse, and even a goddamn Mr. Magoo version seen. Scrooge was from Captain Picard, Yosemite Sam, Dr. Frasier, George Patton, and, uh, played Michael Caine. So, why do you ask, we need a different version ...Bill Murray? Huh. No joke.Well, I think my question answered. If ever an actor born to play a strange kind heart and an evil Scrooge snarking, Murray is the man. I had a lot of people surprised by this film because he had never heard of, and meet him, that he had a long-lost classic Bill Murray missed. Do not worry so much, I said. It is a good movie, of course, but nothing spectacular. Certainly not Groundhog Day mistletoe door.A major obstacle to making this classic story of Christmas is already a classic, and we have seen time and time again. Of course, Scrooged try at this stage of history in contemporary dress used (ie late 1980) traps, but still the same story, and yet knows how it will end. And oh, what a finish. But I am always a little bit.Murray plays Frank Cross, a director of television in a bad mood, the setting with a production of 40 million A Christmas Carol is owned in your network shortly before Christmas. Coated fine irony is that the cross really is Scrooge in the flesh, its employees, resentment means Christmas miser and money. However, Murray does not seem to make the black cross, as it should be - it looks more like a combination of holidays with the best Venkman other Phil, the weather - and switching between pretending to be bad and a pretty cool guy be. If something crazy, that is.The film, which is by the movie, an interesting twist, but otherwise standard rate Christmas Carol. Cruz gets a visit from his former boss (deceased), by the upcoming visit of three spirits that anything you want to engage the life of the Cross will be warned. Cruz wrote this as a hallucination caused by stress and the major project of the network, at least until the first spirit comes and goes backwards. As far as Murray shines through the limited material has been driven to work, are the spirit of Christmas past, present and future are no restrictions on the contrary, the freedom lead their parties. I even say that ghosts to steal the spotlight, especially the spirit of the abuse of Christmas (Carol Kane).Another nice distraction in the history of retreading is the number of star cameos flakes appear as Bobcat Goldthwait, Jamie Farr, Robert Goulet, and Mary Lou Retton (such as "Tiny Tim" ... well ...). I wish they had more time with the hilarious parody of the Christmas market, "died the night of the Reindeer" TV as the opening (with Lee Majors), but not UHF.For now, the main obstacle Scrooged a cult classic loved Christmas is the end. Thar be spoilers here, but hey, you know how the story ends! After Cruz's famous change of heart, back in the studio and takes the camera like an idiot result. Whether they think they have reached a point of the cross made a statement and it is great to play with minimal time and roll the credits ... The film is in progress. The end is basically 15 minutes walk to Murray and, magically and wonderfully toe-tapping music of Christmas is making it possible to take part in a silly sing song length, and. Right. Never. End. Comedies should rely on a good note, an explosion of energy, or a hearty laugh. Scrooged termination of the opinion that taking part in a farewell party that is so cast, without benefit of alcohol to enliven things.I will not be too hard, Scrooged at least tried to be a notch above of Ebenezer. Probably ReWatch this Christmas every three or four, when my mind, the memories to erase this film and not be afraid to make ends meet, begins when you arrive.Intermission!
