DVD: Scrooged: Bill Murray, Karen Allen

Frank Cross has made the meteoric rise from mail room to TV network president. He's mean. He's nasty. He's uncaring, unfeeling and unforgiving, with a degree in sarcasm and a sadistic sense of humour. Something needs to be done. On the night before Frank's pride and joy - the most tacky and tasteless Christmas spectacular ever created - goes to air, Frank is visited by the ghost of his old boss, Lew Hayward, who in life was just as unloved and mean-spirited as Frank and who warns him that high-spirited spirits will be swinging into action: a maniacal cab driver takes him on a trip to the past, a present-day fiendish fairy with a love for painful pratfalls gives him a hard time and a ghoulish creature with a television screen for a face shows him a grim future...Also stars John Forsythe, John Glover, Bobcat Goldthwait, Carol Kane, Robert Mitchum, Michael J. Pollard and Alfre Woodard.
