Best christmas comedy ever! I can't go through a Christmas without watching it at least once. It is always a good tale!

so glad I got it again,, thanks,, Love it,, I haven't watched it in so long, so I am go glad I got it again,, really enjoyed it ,, over and over again,,

When I was a youngster growing up in St. Louis I was a strange child. I liked listening to K<OX radio (that is a news/talk station). I also enjoy (and still do) nostalgic radio programs.

One evening during the Christmas season KMOX played the rebroadcast of the Campbell's Playhouse "A Christmas Carol". This was the first time I ever heard the story and I loved it. I loved it so much that I got the book and read it - this one one of a very few books I ever read as a child.

I have seen other versions of the Christmas Carol but I never liked any of them more than the old Campbell's Playhouse I heard on the radio.
Then the movie "Scrooged" came out with Bill Murry.

I enjoyed Murry's work on SNL so I decided to watch the movie and fell in love with it.

In fact for many years when I was single I would watch it every Christmas Eve leading up to midnight to ring in Christmas.

Frank Cross (Bill Murry) is a lot like me, I am a bit rude at times towards people and insensitive - in fact there are scene where Frank makes a wisecrack to the musicians who are playing on the streets of New York sounds just like something I would say.

The film, 19 years later, is still a great film. Each time I see it I find something I missed in it before.

Each time I watch it I am reminded I can be a better person and it is never too late to change!

It is very heartwarming and a story that brings tears to my eyes each year - I especially love the closing song - bring a little love in your heart.

This film is great to watch, but I would not let younger children see it as some of it might frighten them.

Funny, Touching and to the point. Great performances and the third ghost - WOW!!! How many ghosts were in Dickens the Christmas Carol - Don't forget there were FOUR!

I was disappointed thought I was going to it for Christmas and found out AFTER I paid that it was out of stock!

This has to be one of my most favorite christmas films. The cast, especially Bill Murray do a wonderful job. It tells the story of the Christmas Carol in a new and humorus way. This film is good for children especially if you discuss the concepts of the show afterward so they understand the meaning and spirit of christmas.
