Scrooged
Scrooged (1988)

Directed by Richard 'Lethal Weapon 1,2,3,4' Donner, Murray is Frank Cross, a heartless old bastard of a TV Exec who learns the true meaning of Christmas after being visited by three ghosts of Christmas Eve. Mmmm, that sounds like a book I once read at school. I wonder if they know about it...

Bunn - Okay, I'm better now. Ah, the wonderful Scrooged. Saw it quite a while ago but I love the Dickens novel anyway. Yeah, a nice film with all the right ingredients But like I said, it's been a while but it should be on this Christmas so I shall endeavour to update my opinion.

Dave - This is a very strong contender for best Murray movie ever. He is fucking superb and his permanently pissed-off scowl means the film never becomes too sentimental - even when the whole cast is singing 'Put a Little Love in Your Heart' straight to camera and Murray is holding the poverty line mute child who just spoke for the first time since his dad died it never... OK it does. But Bobcat Goldthwait is in it, and Carol Kane beats up Bill with a toaster so how can you complain?
