Bumpy Chip It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

tim-1419 I love this short, just shy of an hour long. It's sentimental, festive and has some great Christmas music. Bill Murray is obliged to stage a live show on Christmas eve, but doesn't want to. A snowstorm arrives and the audience doesn't turn up. Rather than let the evening be wasted, some determined people start performing. Luckily there is a gifted piano player on hand. Bar staff and kitchen staff turn out to be surprisingly talented. Bill Murray is a reasonable singer, but there are also some beautiful voices to be heard. Who knew George Clooney could sing and play the piano? It's light, fluffy, charming, festive and the perfect accompaniment to a late brandy on a winters eve.

cwaters80 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.

petechambers-01823 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

nieliniowy Pretentious, boring, unfunny insult for everyone who loves music, Bill Murray's great acting creations, and most of all, Christmas special atmosphere and all good what comes with this time. So question is: why is Bill Murray doing this? Is this a quick buck action? Or is this more like a: I am a Bill Murray so, whatever I do, even if it is not funny, even if I can't properly sing one note, even if the whole plot has 0 substance and I have perfect knowledge about that, it is good enough, because it's me, Bill Murray? I got information for Mr Murray: don't do it again man! It can be danger for your health, not to mention other things like a loosing whole credibility. There are other interesting things worth of few words, e.g. Miley Cyrus as an Icon of almost Marian virginity singing Silent Night wearing playboy bunny Christmas costume, but let's just forget it. That was dedicated to those who like Christmas backwards and was even more emphasizing main question of whole undertaking: why Bill? Why?!
