This didn’t quite make my top ten because I’m only looking forward to it for one reason – Bill Murray. The trailer showcases Murray completely in his element, as he plays what looks like the prototypical bitter old drunk with a heart of gold. It sort of feels like a less raunchy Bad Santa. Melissa McCarthy pops up, and it’s nice to see her in a non Tammy/Bridesmaids type role. We’ve seen this plot a hundred times, but with Bill Murray, I’m looking forward to it.
Oscar Alert! The only one to pay attention to is Bill Murray for Best Actor.
