Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

The last reviewer said it was a remake of Groundhog day or a rip off and that's not true. This film is a remake of Christmas Everyday which is a film i grew up with and stars Erik Von Detton was aimed more at teenagers. It's a funnier film and has a warmth to it. This film however lacks snow, and likable characters at first. This is one of the shows I catch every year on ABC Family Channel as well as Christmas Everyday. However this isn't as good as the original, and lacks a little bit of warmth and charm that the original had. The only funny thing really about the movie is Jay Mohr, who it's kind fun to see go crazy and psychotic. It was nice to see Daphne Zuniga in something new, but other than that it's average at best.

A late breakfast put me in front of the TV for the second showing of Christmas Do-over. I had not intended on watching ABC family channel or anything else, but I did and I laughed all the way through this movie. It has great writing along with the slapstick. I actually thought this had been a movie in the theatres that I had never heard of. The show really takes different twists throughout and left me wondering how it would end. It certainly had an honest approach of trial and error in solving a moral dilemma for our hero. I suppose I am not as sophisticated as others since I do not run to see every movie that comes out, but I do know "funny" when I see it. Except for the alcohol and innuendo (that could have been left out and it still be a great movie) I thought this movie was the best I have seen in many, many, years. It will definitely help Jay's career.

You know when a record keeps skipping and you hear the same thing over and over and over and nothing happens? Consider this movie a Barry Manilow LP that skips for 2 hours. Jay Mohr is a guy that hates xmas and has to relive the same xmas every day until he gets it right. You will hate xmas after seeing this movie.Go with Groundhog Day instead. This movie rips it off in every way possible, but lacks Bill Murray's genius, a sun shy mammal, and a funny script. Phenomenally terrible in every aspect. My girlfriend says I need to say something nice and not be such a grinch, because it "does have a positive message and is very sweet and family oriented" but the bottom line is that it's like watching Santa & Mrs. Claus get hot and heavy after a long night of present delivery...not a pretty sight. It's insulting to anyone with taste that movies like this even make it onto cable.

I'm watching it now. It's fun, but so much a copy of Ground Hog Day that I find it surprising that the producers haven't been sued for copyright infringement.So, as I watch this, I can know how the central character in each of these feels. Deja vu all over again.Perhaps you could say that this movie is unique in that it's about a different holiday, has different characters, but that's about it. And, since I can't remember how the Bill Murray character got out of the loop, maybe I'll be surprised and find that this guy solves it in a different way.
