Cutthroat TV executive Frank Cross doesn’t know the meaning of Christmas. Focused solely upon his personal ambitions, he is as uncaring and callous as Ebeneezer Scrooge.
Only a quadruple haunting will allow him to see the error of his ways.
In the tradition of It’s A Wonderful Life, Scrooged, starring Bill Murray was met by mixed to negative reviews from critics who were put off by the film's juxtaposition of sentimentality and cynicism. But ultimately filmgoers recognized this Reagan era retelling of Dickens’ classic as a worthy addition to the Yuletide cinematic canon. At its heart it is a tale of hope, declaring joyfully that even in a world under siege by nastiness and greed the goodness in us all can always be rekindled.
Whether you’re a Victorian merchant or a Me Generation media executive, there’s nothing like a metaphysical exploration of your empathy deficit to really kick start your shriveled conscience. Come to the Senate for proof this holiday season!
