Droves of determined "Bill Murray is God" fans who claim to be willing to watch the star of Ghostbusters and Groundhog Day in anything are in for a bit of a cheeky challenge with Netflix's A Very Murray Christmas - a walking-dream style homage to "good hang" holiday variety specials of yesteryear, premiering Friday, December 4th. Stepping in as host/nucleus - like crooners Dean Martin and Perry Como (and many more) have done over a good chunk of the previous century - Murray smartly evokes the "man of the people" pop-in vibe that he's cultivated over the past few years.
Reuniting with Lost in Translation director Sofia Coppola, A Very Murray Christmas occasionally gives off a similar aura. Trapped in a hotel during a blizzard (NYC's Carlyle, specifically), Murray starts off despondent over the fact that he's contractually obligated to play ringleader for a live holiday special in which no stars have arrived. Guests (the first of many) Amy Poehler and Julie White busy around him as frantic producers while Murray prepares to commit TV suicide. And it's during these first 10-to-15 minutes that the special drags. No coincidence too perhaps, these are the moments that contain the show's meager attempts at comedy.
