The film centers on Frank Cross (Bill Murray, an inconsiderate and arrogant executive in the IBC television network headquarters, who is haunted by three spirits bearing lessons on Christmas Eve.
Tacky in the extreme, this self-congratulatory 1988 film is an exercise in hypocrisy, indulging every form of Christmas exploitation that it pretends to attack, and many of the laughs are forced.

Murray, it's clear today, was the perfect Scrooge of the '80s.
In spite of the jokes at the expense of television-network censors, there's very little in the film, aside from naughty words, that wouldn't be perfectly acceptable on prime-time television.
