I'm afraid my takeaway from Scrooged is that Bill Murray is really quite a bad actor in this. Apparently Murray hated working with that king of holiday movies (The Omen, Die Hard), Richard Donner, and has said that almost none of what we see is Murray's own material. But I just kinda wished this film starred Eddie Murphy the whole time. It's a fine movie, I guess. It got some good laughs out of me when the Ghost of Christmas Present was hitting Scrooge in the face with a toaster. But mostly this was just sort of obvious, sentimental nonsense. I liked Bobcat Goldthwait a lot. And Alfre Woodard. But... meh.
I watched this on Hulu. It isn't exactly the season for such a film, but it's leaving at the end of August.
