Scrooged review
Daniel Corleone - wrote on 02/15/12
Francis Xavier "Frank" Cross (Bill Murray) is an insensitive selfish executive of a network. Claire Phillips (Karen Allen) sees Frank again but never got along because of his career while he has a strained relationship with his brother James (John Murray). He likewise mistreats his hardworking assistant assistant Grace Cooley (Alfre Woodard). Frank’s boss, Preston Rhinelander (Robert Mitchum), hires Brice Cummings (John Glover) as a production assistant.
Screenplay was effective in relaying its message: Frank’s boss - “Don't waste your life as I did.” Frank’s father – “He's gotta learn that life's doesn't come on a silver platter.“ Ghost of Christmas present – “Sometimes the truth is painful, Frank.” Frank – “I gotta live! I wanna live! Oh, God! I wanna live!” “And if you give, then it can happen, the miracle can happen to you.” Soundtrack used was popular and you get a sensational performance from Bill Murray. Scrooged is a Christmas flick that likewise sends a deeper point that it doesn’t take a holiday to bring out the best in people and appreciating your miracles.
