All of Bill Murray's brothers appears in this movie. Besides John and Brian Doyle, another brother Joel appears in the film as one of the party guests at the apartment playing trivial pursuit.
Yes it is Brian Doyle Murray, playing his father is his real life brother and his brother was played by his other brother John Murrey, who was pretty good in Moving Violations. Brian Doyle has a pretty good number of other good movies.
Just like Your Sister, YOU too have become "The Gift That Keeps on Giving the Whole Year!" Love You and Your Reactions; You are always so Sweet and so Funny! I wish I could give you a big hug sometimes...but I'm happy and proud just to be Your Friend. Talk to You soon. . . Btw, here's a Fun Fact for You: Frank's Father in that Christmas-Past scene was played by Bill Murray's Brother IRL, "Brian Doyle-Murray." Brian was also in "Ghostbusters II" (I forgot to mention it), He worked at the Mental Hospital where they all got committed. Bill & Brian have also worked together in "Groundhog Day."
Carol Cane plays the 2nd ghost, and is fantastic in that role. Cane also was in The Princess Bride, She played the (heavily made-up) wife of Miracle Max, where Indigo and Fezzik take Wesley for some "magic".
She steals the show but didn't enjoy her experience making the film as she tired of having to repeatedly hit Murray. She actually gave him a minor injury to his lip at one point and it delayed filming.
When I was a teenager in Hollywood, California, my best friend at the time was the son of some entertainment industry people. His father was an actor, director and he directed this movie called The Mafu Cage. Carol Cane played the crazy sister in that film. His stepfather was a musician, and he did the musical score for both Invasion of the Body Snatchers, and A Star is Born, with Barbra Streisand. Back earlier he played the piano at the end of a famous tv show called All in the Family. I got to hang out at their house all the time for about a 5-year span until we all went our own ways. Great memories from back then in the seventies
Frank's mean dad when he was a kid was actually Bill Murray's older brother. Also, his brother in this where he gave the VCR to is actually his younger brother. They kept it in the family. Kinda cool.
Bill Murray and Bobcat Goldthwait together in the same movie? Yes, please. It's a shame they didn't work together more. This is my favorite Christmas movie. It's been mentioned many times below, Bills's brothers are in this movie. Brian Doyle-Murray appears in many of Bill's films. The Ghost of Christmas Present was the wonderful Carol Kane, from the Princess Bride and the 70s sitcom Taxi. Clair was played by Karen Allen, Marion in the Indiana Jones movies.
16:00 "I'm sorry. You know, I thought you were Richard Pryor?" That's a pretty cruel line. Richard Pryor was a very talented comedian and screenwriter for many years. Once, he caught himself on fire while on a crack-cocaine binge. RIP Richard!
That's often cited as an ad-lib but the reality is it was a late suggested line by the effects/make up guy Tom Burman. Bill initially reacted as you and said he could never use it as it was disrespectful and he was a good friend of Pryor. But when it came to filming the scene he dropped it in regardless hence why it's often cited as something he came up with during the take. Nobody knows if Bill cleared it with Richard or if he just realised that Pryor himself used to refer to the event in his own routines so thought 'what the hell'.
The cab driver, David Johansen, also had an alter ego...Buster Poindexter, who had a hit back in the late 80s/early 90s(?) Called "Hot hot hot". You may recognize it if you listen to it. Or you might be too young to recognize that.
Bill Murray actually cracks Alfre Woodard in the jaw with his elbow after his overreaction to the Grim Reaper actor in the elevator. Being a professional, she kept going with it. 31:19
Hey Tara. Have you ever tried to staple Reindeer antlers to a mouse! KIDDING! Great choice, great reaction! Thank you for all that you've given us this year. I'll be here for every thing you do in the new year...Thank you again...Eric oh and Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Welcome Back, Friend! IDK about you but She got Me again with this one; I was smiling and laughing the whole time, right up until the end...and now I'm crying again. 😂 I swear I Love Tara more than Jen, but "Shh, don't tell her I said so." 😉
@@e.d.2096 First of all, nobody calls me "Tommy!" Second, "I Wish" but we all know that She's taken, and I respect it. Don't like it, but I have to respect it. . .
Although not my favorite adaptation of "A Christmas Carol", I watch "Scrooged" every year along with the other 35+ adaptations in my ACC library. Yes,.....I have a lot of them. Beginning with the 1901 silent film and adding this years' "Spirited" w/ Will Ferrell and Ryan Reynolds, and "Scrooge, A Christmas Carol"
Danny Elfman, who did the score for this, also did ALL of Tim Burton's films. When I was 17 in 1976, I was on the Gong Show a talent show and I lost by 1 point to Danny Elfman and his band Oingo Boingo.
I have never actually watched ALL of Indiana Jones... I have seen parts of it on TV many times though, so that might be where I recognize her from!! Thanks!
A couple things this one did that the original didn't are interesting additions to me. For one, it included the dead homeless man. Scrooge never had to deal with something he was too late to change, but this one shows that, no matter what he does, there is some harm that is irreparable. The other is the corruption of Claire. There's something devastating to know that you could take someone so pure and good and turn her cruel. Considering Calvin, as the Tiny Tim stand-in, gets a lesser fate in the bad future (institutionalization isn't as bad as death, after all), this does help to keep the stakes high.
hey love your reactions just a quick suggestion...i would tone the 'reaction preview' sequence waay down if not just can it completely. im here for the reaction, im sold, i dont need spoilers.
Hey there! I appreciate your opinion on this, but I do have a very large number of people who really enjoy the preview, and it really helps get people excited for the reaction and usually gets them to stay! I have added chapters in the description so that you can easily skip right to the intro bit if you don’t want to watch it :)

Bill is legend. So many great films. Of the more recent, I loved St Vincent a whole lot.
That's Brian Doyle Murray playing Frank's father.
That’s also Bill Murray’s brother playing Bill Murray’s brother 😊

@@dabe1971 Yeah if she wants to see more of Joel Murray, One Crazy Summer would be a good recommendation.

great reaction. always enjoy this movie around the holidays
the Pretenders sing Time the Avenger
Hey Tara. I love this movie. I remember watching this when I was a kid
Back in those days a VCR recorder was about $2000.00
great reaction video as always
Just seeing what this scavenger thingy is all about... 😉

Awesome reaction as always. One of my favorites to watch during the holidays. Moving on now to #2. Now that’s quite a homework assignment Tara. 😉
Danny Elfman, who did the score for this, also did ALL of Tim Burton's films. When I was 17 in 1976, I was on the Gong Show a talent show and I lost by 1 point to Danny Elfman and his band Oingo Boingo.
But I already commented :)
Great reaction as always! 🔍
I just did timestamp nº1. Gonna try and do nº2.
Great reaction, Tara!
Found it 😊
I love that story so much. Love the reaction!
Tara 💛
do we have to write on that page with the google drive picture or just write it down on our notepads at home?
Great reaction. Calvin saying "God bless us every one", along with his Mom and Frank's reactions, always makes me cry.
SO moving!!!!
You might recognize Claire as Marian in the first INDIANA JONES movie
I have never actually watched ALL of Indiana Jones... I have seen parts of it on TV many times though, so that might be where I recognize her from!! Thanks!
Nice to see you responding to my favorite Christmas movie. Merry Christmas Tara
And a Merry Christmas to you!!
"Oh, a booook." I like the way you look into the camera now and then; it makes it feel more personal. You're really good at these reaction vids.
Aw thank you!!!!! That’s so kind!!
I saw this movie on opening day, and the audience actually sang at the end like Bill Murray told us to.
Awesome!

That's a really good point! I didn't think about it at the time, but these two additions are really pretty meaningful!! Thanks for watching!
Ok, task one done. Watched it at 2x normal speed to find the scene and apparently Tara turns into a chipmunk when she laughs!
😂
