Scrooged

Scrooged, directed by Richard Donner and starring the ubiquitous Bill Murray, is a film twist loosely based on Dickens’ novel A Christmas Carol.

Francis Cross (Scrooge in the body of Bill Murray) is a successful TV mogul whose hardnosed attitude to work above all other things has taken him to the top whilst making himself and everyone around him pretty darn miserable.

Forcing his film crew to work over Christmas on a seasonal spectacular (in part a candy-box pastiche of Dickensian England), Francis is visited first be his former and very much deceased boss and then in turn by three ghosts who in showing him his past, present and future, help Francis see the gaping errors of his ways.

It may not be the Bill Murray we have all come to love in Groundhog Day and it certainly isn’t classical Dickens, but it is fun to watch.

A good family film which you can buy on DVD using this link.
