Review of A Very Murray Christmas (2015) by Thequietgamer — 24 Dec 2017
Bill Murray's delightful Christmas special starts off by making fun of the entertainment industry a bit. The plot revolves Murray having trouble actually getting people to show up to his Christmas special due to a blizzard and a case of the bah-humbugs.
It gives things a sort of meta element that's quite charming and leads to quite a few funny moments as Bill trapes around a hotel and interacts with the employees and other guests trapped inside, all of whom are made up of some great cameos.
Really though, this is a musical. Nearly everybody involved gets a chance to sing in a classic Christmas carol or song. There are quite a few surprising voices to be heard here, and the ones that aren't as desirable to listen are still used admirably as they put their all into it.
Sometimes even just for comedic purposes. There's a charm and warmth to the whole thing that is perfect for the holiday season. So stick around and listen to the tunes. It's an entertaining way to get into the spirit and pass some time while waiting for Christmas morning to finally arrive.
