Adapted from the famous novel "A Christmas Carol" by British literary giant Charles Dickens, it has been transformed into a cautionary holiday comedy with a modern TV background and lively special effects shots. Bill. Murray plays Frank, a cold-hearted TV tycoon in the film. He is all about profit and is willing to drive the audience crazy to boost the show's viewership. Just before Christmas, Frank's boss, who had been dead for seven years, returned with a decaying body to warn him and announce that he would be visited by three unexpected guests, including a taxi driver who would take him on a tour of his past life and future, a fairy who would lead him to share family and love, and a terrifying monster who would play the role of a ghost on TV. Under the guidance of these three ghosts, Frank finally understood the true meaning of Christmas. Director Richard Although Donner's techniques were a bit exaggerated, the wonderful stunts and the funny performance of the male lead still attracted the audience.[Collapse]
