User Reviews
i like this film because the whole IDEA of it was to make it home on time for Christmas in order for Jake to be given the Porsche. now I've seen some of the other comments given about this film...its JUST A MOVIE. i think who ever wrote it was just trying to make a point to their story and for people to understand that it didn't matter about the Porsche or getting home by six O'Clock. it just mattered that you got home and spent it with the family. thats what i think the writer and director was trying to show. this film is good for a holiday movie. i would suggest this to any family who spend holidays together and looking for a film thats funny and has humor in it.
Fmovies: This film is mediocre to the extreme.
It could, if you can overlook the glaring plot holes, be something good to watch on Christmas Eve if there is nothing else on and you have had a few drinks.
It's not the worst movie ever made, but it is clichéd, predictable and not very funny.
Three out of ten- and that might be a case of me being over generous because it's, as I write this, December 12th.
What is also frustrating is that there's a nucleus of a good idea in the script- albeit one that has been done before. If the script had been redrafted a few more times, and if some of the Disney schmaltz had been remove then the film might have landed, somewhere, on the better side of OK.
Jessica Biel isn't bad though.
My expectations were low when I started to watch this film. The premise seemed OK and from watching Home Improvement I knew the lead actor had some charm about him.
I can happily say that I didn't need to worry because this film is good family entertainment, that also manages to be a good Christmas film.
Sure, it's far fetched and the plot doesn't hold up to much, but it's also full of funny moments and has its heart in the right place.
It's a shame that Jonathon Taylor Thomas didn't go on to make more films after this one because he was likable and had good comic timing.
This is one of those films that you see on the shelf every Christmas. Why not give it a go?
I'll Be Home for Christmas fmovies. I'm a 90' kid and this movie was a staple every holiday season. If it doesn't hold a special place for you, you probably won't think it's a great movie. Your kids may like it though!
Don't get me wrong, this is a great movie... But it's not one you can watch over and over.. This movie isn't a Jingle all the Way :) But, if you're in the mood for a christmas movie, watch it, you'll like it. There are some funny parts, not too many serious parts, if any.. But there are some funny things in it.
It's just an all-around warm film with laughs and love for those into Christmas movies.
