saw this movie in my english class this afternoon and be surprise by how bad this version be . don not get me wrong and george c. scott be terrific a scrooge and but the rest of the cast fail so very badly . sometimes i couldn not stop laughing at the stupid acting and the repeated line represent merry christmas to everyone . other time i almost fell asleep . the movie be base on a charles dickens short story about a rich guy and who do not think christmas be nothing but humbug . after 30 minute and the rich guy be visit by three ghost and who persuade him to celebrate christmas after all . i can not understand how this movie and with a script so bad it must have be write in five minute and can be so well rat . instead of this piece of garbage and i recommend to you and the bill murray comedy scrooged . that at least and be funny .
