8/10
Its exactly what you wanted...

This is supposed to be a subversive take on a Christmas classic we all know very well. The best things a movie like that can do is surprise and entertain you, while also standing out on its own, and Scrooged does that very well. Bill is great in this, the ghost are all very entertaining, surprising, memorable, and sometimes, even disturbing to look at. The romance is actually pretty alright, and the score isn't memorable, but it MAKES certain scenes. Both the humor and emotional beats hit, and the ending is bit long I guess, but Bills acting makes it worth it, it all feels real, not like some tacked on message. Aside from the mostly grey color pallet, this movie a fantastic Christmas classic with some pretty great moments.
