Does Bill break the 4th wall or is he talking to the TV audience? I mean, this movie and the argument my parents had after it was how I learned what the 4th wall was... and for the record, I side with Mom, he was clearly breaking it. You already know the plot, which is nice about these movies, you know what is going to happen, it's all about how they are going to present it, and the presentation was pretty hysterical. It is very 80s, very 80s comedy, playing with the offensive and the inoffensive in a family friendly way, and at the end of the day, you get a good laugh over a Christmas tale. There isn't that much to say, you already know everything about it without actually needing to watch it, just that this presentation is funny and heart warming... heart warming like all the others, save for the remake made for "Modern Audiences" that ends on a note of spite and hate.

Not this time Bill, not this time. This time, Bill's signature antics worked against him. I don't know what happened, maybe Bill just didn't want to play in this movie, but he overacted too much in all scenes, whether comic scenes or dramatic ones, it doesn't matter. There was only one scene where he showed us all his skills in the end. And that scene was the only one within the whole movie that brings us a Christmas attitude. What should be an essential part of any Christmas movie. Ghosts of the Past and Present were good enough. But the FUTURE? Who wouldn't be scared to death in his place when your death is shown in such a manner? It's a dirty hack for the Future, it's impossible not to change his mind about everything they ask. He would eat his nails or a maggot if they would ask after that. Worth to watch once, but I doubt I will be watching this again. Rate: 7

"Scrooged" has been suggested by "A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens and the familiar themes this film tackles are becoming increasingly relevant with the passing of each year as the human race becomes even more isolated and jaded than ever before by the unceasing and repetitive grinds and demands of daily life where considerations such as kindness and a generosity of spirit are fading fast and in danger of never being recovered after they have been lost. This film attempts to address the malaise and remind people that life is only worth living when it is done with a genuine sense of charity towards other people and this shouldn't be restricted to just one day of the year. The Christmas spirit can and should be adopted as a lifestyle choice and the repeated attempts to attain this goal ought to be the only insatiable greed in the world today.
