In 1988's "Scrooged," Bill Murray plays the ruthless head of a TV network, Frank Cross, who's forcing his crew to work on Christmas Eve to broadcast an over-the-top production of "A Christmas Carol." There are enjoyable parts here, particularly Alfre Woodard as this movie's version of Bob Cratchit. But Murray's Cross is a bit too much of a jerk. The movie is also overly focussed on Cross's relationship with his lost love Claire (Karen Allen). One of the most bittersweet parts of "A Christmas Carol" is that Scrooge can't get his love back, but this movie loses that element when it gives Cross his romantic happy ending.
