Report
In this modern take on Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol," Frank Cross (Bill Murray) is a wildly successful television executive whose cold ambition and curmudgeonly nature has driven away the love of his life, Claire Phillips (Karen Allen). But after firing a staff member, Eliot Loudermilk (Bobcat Goldthwait), on Christmas Eve, Frank is visited by a series of ghosts who give him a chance to re-evaluate his actions and right the wrongs of his past.
This movie contains 22 potentially triggering events.

There is a mention of generic global terrorist attacks and an exploding plane, but the movie was made before 9/11 so it's not a purposeful connection.

You see a kid in a mental institution during a future scene. Though he isn't mistreated in the scene, it may be upsetting to those who have been in an institution before.
