PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

capone666 I'll Be Home For ChristmasSince being home for Christmas is the best present, why can't it be the only present you have to buy your family?Even better, why can't there be a bribe involved like the one in this comedy?When his father (Gary Cole) entices him home for the holidays with a Porsche, Jake (Jonathan Taylor Thomas) and his girlfriend Allie (Jessica Biel) trade in their tickets to Mexico for ones to NYC.But unforeseeable forces separate them: Jake is spirited away on a hitchhiking adventure through the desert dressed as Santa Claus, while Allie is escorted to New York by Jake's nemesis (Adam LaVorgna).On the road, Jake realizes that all of his strained relationships need repairing.Surprisingly heartfelt, I'll Be Home For Christmas is a zany road movie to a fault. However, the travel obstacles faced by Jake are somewhat relatable.Incidentally, most Christmas visitors come bearing gifts of influenza. (Yellow Light)vidiotreviews.blogspot.ca

Catherine_Grace_Zeh In my opinion, this is an excellent Christmas movie with a message to it. If you ask me, every mishap that Jake (Jonathan Taylor Thomas) encountered while trying to get home from California to New York for Christmas was absolutely hilarious. The most hilarious one, to me, was when he encountered Eddie (Adam LaVorgna) in his hotel room. This was because he had Jake's girlfriend (Jessica Biel) with him. Please, don't tell me my sense of enjoyment is twisted. In addition, the bus driver was a complete jerk. Also, from the looks of it, the Porsche that was at stake was absolutely vintage. The reason I said that is because it was a 1957 model. In conclusion, if you like Jonathan Taylor Thomas or Christmas movies, this is one you'll definitely want to see.

phillafella `Home Improvement' star Jonathan Taylor Thomas stars in this predictable family comedy as a college kid whose father will promise him a new car if he makes it home before Christmas dinner begins. Thomas is in top form, but this should have been a two-part episode of `Home Improvement,' for he had left the show not long before this film was released. The Santa Race is the highlight of the film, but because there is little else here that is entertaining, this movie is only recommended for fans of the teen star.2 out of 5

jwrowe3 Okay, It's easy to say this movie was not in the range of other classic holiday flicks like "Christmas Story", or "It's A Wonderful Life", but then it's not "Santa Claus Conquers The Martians", either.I watched it the other night and did actually laugh here and there. Yeah, it's hard to like Jonathan Taylor Thomas, at first. He cheats, and seems pretty shallow. I can see the concern voiced by a previous poster about this not being a family holiday move, as the main character is pretty unpleasant.+SPOILERS AHEAD!+As we see him dumped in the desert dressed as Santa and watch him cross the country, we are treated to some pretty amusing moments. The four old ladies in the Chrysler Imperial, are just the beginning. And being a fan of big 50's Chrysler's, that gave the movie a push in the positive direction! Add a goofy van driver, a sentimental cop, and a gassy dog.Is there a happy ending? Sure. Does JTT learn a lesson? Of course, it's a Disney flick. I didn't have too much of a problem with "Home", and would probably get the DVD if my daughters wanted it.5 out of 10 stars.Rent it, or buy it if it's the "FREE" in a "Buy One, Get One Free" DVD offer.
