Murry Christmas everyone
A Very Murray Christmas (2015): 8 out of 10: I can’t quite put my finger on it. This special starts out bad, possibly purposely so, with Amy Poehler hamming it up something awful. But it grows on you with memories of Christmas’s past. By the time Murray is singing a surprising non-rapey version of “Baby it’s Cold Outside” we are in full Christmas swing. Capped off with a blast of nostalgia for Christmas specials past with a talented Miley Cyrus and a ridiculously charming George Clooney.
I used to be a Love Actually Christmas Eve traditionalist. This, however, has been my go-to Christmas special the last two years and I see no reason not to continue that tradition again next year.
