There is a sense of anarchy in his performance. There is no sense that he&#8217;s pretending to be mean, Frank Cross is a git. He thoroughly deserves the pasting he gets from Carol Kane&#8217;s Ghost of Christmas Present.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Frank is the Scrooge character. Successful but selfish, mean-spirited, climbing and a proper sod. In his path to the top, he&#8217;s screwed people over and lost the love his life but the Christmas ghosts do their thing and the Christmas spirit prevails. Yay!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I love everything about this movie. It could be the years of repeat watching, it&#8217;s definitely Bill Murray. It could be Robert Mitchum or Karen Allen or the fizzy ending.
