It's a mess.

This movie seemed like Bill Murray's character from Aloha gets his own Christmas special.

| Apr 29, 2020

It doesn't make for the most entertaining holiday special, but as a quirky Christmas card from the patron saint of down-to-earth stardom, it's not half bad.

| Nov 26, 2019

This is the show at its best, effectively balancing wry humor with a straightforward affection for the Christmas songbook (the regular one, not some hipster alt-holiday universe version).

| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 30, 2018

The whole idea of Bill Murray is that he's funny when he's not trying to be, and that his persona works best when scored against substantial narratives or absurd scenarios.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 3, 2018

2015's Netflix one-off A Very Murray Christmas seems half-finished, like a good fruitcake recipe that could have used another 20 minutes in the oven.

The fun all of these major celebrities are having isn't very infectious to the audience. This is clearly more entertaining for them that it is to us

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 4, 2017

... this is a case of all the good stuff being in the trailer.

Murray, who genuinely seems to fancy himself as a bit of a crooner, bludgeoning his way through a number of Christmas standards in a cracked, scratchy voice suggests he's taking his ego for a sleigh ride.

And it's true: The production values are not high. The transitions are awkward. The scripted jokes do not land. The actors seem unrehearsed. Many of the songs do not work. But, somehow, Bill Murray still charms.

It's beautiful and haunting and and commercial and confusing and cringe-worthy. So maybe it's also Christmas.

| Jul 22, 2016

A welcome perennial for those who resent the season's omnipresence.

| Original Score: A- | Dec 29, 2015

Murray's co-stars provide just enough star wattage to keep "A Very Murray Christmas" mildly engaging, even as they do so little that it feels like they're just participating to humor their headliner friend's flights of fancy.

| Original Score: C | Dec 18, 2015

When everyone's gathering around the piano to sing The Pogues' "Fairytale of New York", or when Coppola's filming Murray looking out over a beautifully chilly city on Christmas morning, well - that sweetness ain't artificial.

| Dec 9, 2015

Written by Murray, Mitch Glazer (Scrooged) and the special's director, Sofia Coppola, A Very Murray Christmas is an odd holiday entry but one that surely has a small but loyal audience that will find its hipper-than-thou vibe entertaining.

| Dec 8, 2015

Though there is much festive warmth about A Very Murray Christmas, it adds up to less than the sum of its parts.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 7, 2015

Any viewer who likes Murray's act - extreme self-effacement punctuated by deadpan brilliance; disaffection duking it out with a desire for sincerity - will be very happy with this program indeed.

| Dec 7, 2015

We have A Very Murray Christmas, and at the very least there are certainly worse ways to spend 56 minutes on a wint'ry December evening than watching it.

| Dec 7, 2015

A Very Murray Christmas is an unexpectedly tender little 온라인카지노추천 jewel from the man who built his early career on being a wisecracking cynic.

| Dec 7, 2015

I could imagine lots of people firing up their old Netflix accounts each year to watch A Very Murray Christmas all over again.
