20 minutes into this smarmy Christmas Special I pretty much had my fill of this supposed "cool" holiday show. Bill Murray can't sing and to listen to him sing song after song was pure torture.
I get that the makers of this special are trying to have it both ways, deconstruct a typical Christmas Special like something Andy Williams or Perry Como would do, but the joke wore itself out after a while. This show also attempts to trade on the cool guy persona of Bill Murray as he brings in a bunch of his Hollywood cronies to worship at the feet of cool guy Murray.
You know a musical comedy show is pretty bad when you are actually looking fotward to Miley Cyrus showing up during a dream sequence. Maya Rudolph supposedly can sing but you would never know it from the piss poor sound recording of her Christmas performance.
Frankly the Bill Murray "coolest guy in the room" persona is getting a little tired and let's face it Murray's looking a little old to doing it.
56 minutes.
