Kapten Video What better way to start christmas than Bill Murray's special, with lots of famous guests playing themselves or somebody else, directed by Sofia Coppola, made for Netflix?Actually, there must be many better ways, because "A Very Murray..." feels just lazy in the worst possible sense.The idea is great, of course, but the result is neither witty nor inventive. You get mostly Bill Murray's performing variety-ish renditions of known holiday classics, and sometimes letting other grab the lead too, notably Miley Cyrus.There are some sketches to try and add some excitement but they fail to ignite and stop appearing long before the end.The only aspect that disappoint is involving famous friends, although they don't do anything interesting, including George Clooney, Chris Rock, Jason Schwartzman, Amy Poehler.At least it's not too long, only 56 minutes, barely classifying for feature-length movie. If you want to call this half-assed lazyfest a movie at all.

Doug Burr 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.

Christmas-Reviewer BEWARE OF FALSE REVIEWS & REVIEWERS. SOME REVIEWERS HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW TO THEIR NAME. NOW WHEN ITS A POSITIVE REVIEW THAT TELLS ME THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE MOVIE. IF ITS A NEGATIVE REVIEW THEN THEY MIGHT HAVE A GRUDGE AGAINST THE FILM . NOW I HAVE REVIEWED OVER 300 HOLIDAY FILMS. I HAVE NO AGENDA.If it wasn't bad enough that Bill Murray made a so-so version of "A Christmas Carol" he had to sink lower and make a terrible Christmas Special that only he would love or watch! Even hardcore fans of Murray's will be hard pressed to say something great about this!The plot of this On Christmas Eve, Bill Murray waits in his suite at the Carlyle Hotel, gradually realizing that a massive snowstorm has caused most of the guests for his live Christmas special to cancel. As time runs out, his two producers, Liz (Amy Poehler), and Bev (Julie White), coerce him into going on with the show, as he is financially on the hook if he cancels. With minimal crew, Murray goes live; but in the middle of singing a song, he begins to weep and then flees the studio. While trying to leave the hotel, he sees Chris Rock, whom he forces into performing "Do You Hear What I Hear?" with him. During a power outage, Rock flees, and the producers inform Murray that as the power outage Rock flees, and the outage is considered an Act of God the special can now be cancelled.Now other things happen and what should be heart warming becomes stupid and boring. Talent-less Hollywood Hack Sofia Coppola help co-write and directed this mess. This special is like getting socks for Christmas!

Mr-Fusion News reports touting an upcoming Bill Murray Christmas special warrant attention. He's such an oddball that I honestly had no idea what I'd be in for, but knew I had to see it.I like the idea of this; it's all very random and feels like one big gag. But it's also very sleepy. It was funnier when Murray was freaking out during the opening, but once he settled into crooning mode, it became very subdued. After that, you can boil it down to the high point (Clooney popping out of a Christmas tree, singing, "Santa Claus wants some lovin'") to the low (ugh, Miley Cyrus).5/10
