Meer oor hierdie fliek

High-spirited high jinks on Christmas Eve put Frank Cross (Bill Murray) in a ghostly time warp in this hilarious take-off of Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol." Cross, who has made the meteoric rise from the depths of the mailroom to TV network president, is mean, nasty, uncaring, unforgiving and has a sadistic sense of humor - perfect qualities for a modern-day Scrooge.Before the night is over, he'll be visited by a maniacal New York cab driver from the past, a present-day fairy who's into pratfalls and, finally, a ghoulish, seven-foot headless messenger from the future.

Despite reflecting the power hungry 80s, its still very relevant with its meaning. Bill Murray is excellent in this rendition.

Bill Murray is perfectly cast as Scrooge in one of the best versions of this classic tale

This is my favourite version of the Dicken's classic story. Bill Murray excellent as the Scrooge character Frank Cross.
