Scrooged (1988)

I remember seeing this for the first time while in a friend's hometown over Thanksgiving break. Full theater and the whole place was laughing so dang hard. I'm thinking now that there must've been something in the artificial popcorn butter that made us all a little loopy...

There are some extremely funny lines tossed off ("Have you tried *staples*?" comes to mind), but it's not going into the permanent Christmas film rotation for us. Carol Kane (as the Ghost of Christmas Present) and the ending "hey, I'm nice now" scene both wear out their welcome long before they're done.
