holidays

1. Scrooged

Scrooged is a modern day retelling of the beloved holiday classic: Charles Dickens - A Christmas Carol. It stars Bill Murray as a television producer that has a lot in common with the iconic Ebenezer Scrooge. Although critics and fans agree this isn’t Bill Murray’s best work, it still manages some laugh-out-loud funny moments with that hint of sarcastic wit that’s a trademark of Murray’s style. 7/10

2. Bad Santa

Billy Bob Thornton is not your average mall Santa. For one - he’s crass. Secondly, he’s piss-ass drunk and not to mention the guy is just downright rude. Also, he’s constantly ‘casing the place’ because see, that's his real job; to rob the shopping-center blind the night of Christmas Eve. This film is loosely inspired by the Dr. Seuss classic ‘The Grinch That Stole Christmas’. 

Once you look past the shock-comedy and pessimistic overtones… the similarities are glaringly obvious. 9/10
