Synopsis: Frank Cross (Bill Murray) is a tremendously successful television producer whose cold ambition and bad-tempered disposition has driven away the love of his life, Claire Phillips, in this modern version on Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol” (Karen Allen). However, after firing a staff member, Eliot Loudermilk (Bobcat Goldthwait), on Christmas Eve, Frank is visited by a series of ghosts who allow him to reconsider his actions and atone for his mistakes.
Fun fact: The film was marketed with references to Ghostbusters which had been a great success four years earlier. In the USA, the tagline was, “Bill Murray is back among the ghosts, only this time, it’s three against one.”
