Film: Scrooged (1988)

DVD: Enhanced 16x9
Scrooged

"The bitch hit me with a toaster."

Review: I always debate if this movie is good enough for my collection. I love Bill Murrey and some of the scenes are wonderful, but I think the story is too loose and gets a little too sappy at the end with his long monologue.

You could almost skip this movie and watch the superior "Groundhog Day" instead. Bill Murray plays the same type of character going though the same character arc with a funnier story.

I will keep it for now, but may give it away to someone who appreciates it more.

"No, you are a hallucination, brought on by alcohol. Russian Vodka, poisoned by Chernobyl."
