Boston Globe -
Scrooged is that rarest of contemporary Hollywood phenomena -- a Christmas movie with Christmas spirit. [23 Nov 1988, p.21]

Washington Post -
This is not a "good movie" -- in fact, it's a sprawling mess -- but I like it. And I mean that sincerely, you knucklehead.

Empire -
Murray doing what he does best, if you like that sort of thing.
|
|
|
The New York Times -
Scrooged works in fits and starts. The mundane demands of the sentimental story keep interrupting what are, essentially, revue sketches, a few of which are hilarious.

TV Guide Magazine -
Neither Scrooged nor Murray, who is front and center throughout, is particularly funny.
