Watch A Very Murray Christmas For Free

Memorable, crazy movie

Excellent but underrated film

Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

This is terrible. I don't know what I was expecting, but, it wasn't this. It is proof to me once and for all that Bill Murray is completely overrated. A hipster icon and I'm not exactly sure why. He really doesn't do very much. I admit I enjoy some of his films, but, only the very best of them and I still don't know what all the fuss is about. This is just Bill Murray singing songs and then every so often a celebrity shows up and joins in. There aren't really any jokes and they aren't even funny songs. It is really boring. I get the impression the creators think Murray's charm and the occasional celebrity appearance is enough to hold the audience's interest. It is not. I do not need to hear Bill Murray sing. Tell some f*cking jokes! This is not even remotely funny and I don't know why it even exists. My best guess is that he owed someone in Hollywood a favour. I also hate George Clooney. He is way worse than Murray. Clooney just turns up looking really pleased with himself. That is it. He can't sing. His acting is average at best and I just don't like him. If 90% of the most famous actors in Hollywood died tomorrow, I wouldn't miss any of them. Hollywood just can't stop sniffing it's own farts and I can't stand these repulsive scum anymore.

It's a strange thing: I don't think I would have taken so much of a liking to A Very Murray Christmas had I not avoided most of the Christmas music this season. Sometimes it's shoved in your ears in such a way that you can possibly feel blood running out (it may depend how much time you're stuck or need to go for some reason to the mall or certain stores where there's some madman's idea of a joke to keep Christmas music going, some of it recorded before your grandparents could walk). But I think by mostly not hearing too much of it this time - also I didn't see it last year when it premiered, and it'd be too hipster-ironic-dumb of me to see it during the summer - I quite enjoyed it. I might even go so far as to say it's one of the better things Sofia Coppola's directed... maybe ever? That may speak to me not being a huge admirer of her films since Lost in Translation. But here, I liked that she was cutting loose and trying her hand at more improvisational comedy (if it was improv, some of it certainly feels that way and Murray gets a co-writing credit with Coppola) and at filming musical sequences. Except for the last few numbers near the end, when it turns into "dream sequence" time, she keeps her camera and cutting simple, not too showy, letting the performers take center stage. Does that mean all of these people sing well? Maybe not, but since I went in with somewhat low expectations, I was delighted to see the actors who I never thought could sing much - Maya Rudolph especially with a cover of 'Christmas Baby Please Come Home', and also Rashida Jones and whoever played the one waitress at the bar - so that made up for duds like Jason Schwartzman (and holy god that IS David Johansen!)This has been fairly low rated, and I think I can understand what might be high expectations for such a thing; Bill Murray has been elevated to the status of a cultural icon over time (by hipsters, sure, and there's even a nod to that with the whole 'want your picture with me?' bit where Murray offers to the Jones character, a bride, that he does that sometimes, but also the general public), and so one might expect a lot of hilarity. I found myself laughing a lot through this because the tone is so loose and not really caring about pleasing anyone except themselves. I think I was hooked once Chris Rock showed up as the most reluctant 'No, I'm NOT singing' performer here, and while some numbers are stronger than others, the energy and fun is always there.This all said, I don't know if I'd watch it more than once, at least for a while, and it certainly gets an extra point for including the Pogues 'Fairytale of New York' (if only it included Tom Waits's 'Christmas Card from a Hooker in Minnesota'!) and a surprisingly great turn from Miley Cyrus (the first time I connected with a performance of 'Silent Night' in as long as I can remember). But I wasn't going in expecting a whole lot, which may have been part of it, and yet at the same time I was impressed by what Coppola and Murray were able to pull off with a silly premise that everyone acknowledges is silly, and all led by Paul Shaffer who, come on, who doesn't like Paul? If you're in the right frame of mind (and not too burnt out) for Christmas covers and some bits of self-referential comedy, this is a nice slice.

Saw some horrible reviews for this little curiosity and decided to give it a go, and was delightfully surprised by how well it works. It's a really nice low-key, off-beat little Christmas special. I loved watching it, and wished I'd done so at a more seasonal time.I'm guessing the low scores are mostly from people who were expecting a tightly-scripted laugh-a-minute Bill Murray vehicle, but that's not what this is at all. As you'd expect from Sofia Coppola, it's a sort of mash-up of Lost In Translation and a Bing Crosby special from the 1970s, keeping the nice songs but replacing the saccharin with something sadder and more soulful.It's not going to be for everyone, and clearly isn't ever going to be a mainstream hit, but if you've ever had to spend a Christmas far away from friends or family then this might be the film for you.

Omg..where to start?, this is quite possibly the worst thing i have ever watched, well i say watched..i gave up after 15 minutes, its bill Murray and a mix of known celebs and unknowns singing friggin Xmas carols... if its meant to be funny i think that got lost in translation (that bad pun was funnier then that steaming turd ) .. anybody that thought this was good in any way shape or form need help, can only assume they are all over 90 and live in houses made up of bing Crosby rubbish ... thankfully i never paid for this yet i still feel robbed, I've lost 15 minutes of my life and its 15 that id have sooner spent in the company of isis and being tortured throughout ...my only questionnis this..why bill why??? Ps Sofia..I'm guessing your adopted as it seems you don't have even one iota of your stepfather
