Review of Scrooged (1988) by George B — 18 Dec 2014
See Annie? This is how you do a modernized remake. You don't contantly remind us that "DUH! ITS IN CURANT TIMES!S", you just use the setting as a way to tell your own version of a classic tale.
Richard Donner does a great job with the retelling with Bill Murray sealing the show with his hilariously dark performance. The movie is a black comedy in the best way possible, and it doesn't go overboard with it. I couldn't help smiling the whole way through and laughing my ass off.
Personally, its my favorite rendition of A Christmas Carol.
Definitely give it a watch, if you haven't already.
