Los espíritus te conmoverán de maneras extrañas e histéricas.
La desbordante alegría de las fiestas de Nochebuena va a hacer que Frank Cross sufra unas visiones fantasmagóricas en esta divertida sátira de “Un Cuento de Navidad” de Charles Dickens. Cross, que ha hecho una carrera meteórica desde lo más recóndito del departamento de envíos de una cadena de TV hasta la presidencia, es tacaño, desagradable, ingrato, implacable y con un cruel sentido del humor, cualidades idóneas para un miserable de hoy en día. Antes de que la noche termine, será visitado por un desconcertante taxista neoyorquino del pasado, un hada del presente un tanto estrafalaria y, finalmente, un sádico, enorme y descabezado mensajero del futuro.

Bill Murray
Francis Cross
Bill Murray delivers a characteristically idiosyncratic and darkly comedic performance as Francis Cross in the 1988 holiday film "Scrooged," a modern retelling of Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol." Murray's portrayal of the cynical and miserly television executive, who schedules inhumane hours for his staff and heartlessly fires an employee on Christmas Eve, perfectly captures the essence of Dickens' Ebenezer Scrooge with a contemporary, acerbic twist. His transformation from a callous, selfish workaholic to a man redeemed by the spirits of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come is both humorous and poignant, as Murray's comedic timing and dramatic depth bring to life the character's journey from isolation to a rediscovery of his humanity. Murray's Cross is both infuriating and endearing, providing audiences with a memorable depiction of the iconic character that resonates with the timeless themes of redemption and the true meaning of the holiday season.
