Scrooged (1988) ***1/2 [Quadruple Feature Pt. 3]

For some reason I thought I had never seen Scrooged (1988) so I went into this viewing believing it was my first time. But I basically remembered all of it as I watched (and not just because I'm familiar with Charles Dickens's 1843 novella and its many, many adaptations). 

It's kind of a sloppy movie (known for behind the scenes clashing between star Bill Murray and director Richard Donner) but it's very funny at times. The cast is wonderful but the tone is a weird mix of cynicism and sudden sentimentality that isn't entirely convincing. Overall though, it's highly enjoyable.
