Das Weihnachts-Chaos

This film is a wild, wild ride. It's all around family friendly fun, but is quite atipical for a Christmas movie. Go watch it blind, your kids will love it.

This is both a review of the movie and a review of the reviewers here. First, and most importantly, the movie. One Christmas Eve is a fun, funny, charming, warm hearted movie about a group of diverse people who form a family on a crazy Planes, Trains and Automobiles Christmas Eve where everything that can go wrong, does. The moral of the story defines the spirit of the holiday and those who don't understand that, must not understand the Christmas Spirit itself. And that brings me to my next point. The bizarre, angry reviews I see on here aren't just common trolls, but seem to have some other agenda going on. Is it a Hate Anne Heche Club? Is it the multicultural cast and these Hallmark viewers want all their Christmases to be white, white, white? But what is clear to anyone who might watch this movie, and it is most definitely a movie worth seeing - and a movie impossible to get angry at. The sort of anger being posted here is more what one might find at a political rally as opposed to discussing an innocent, hilarious, good hearted TV show. The movie, I give a 10 out of 10. These crackpots on display here, I give a big fat zero if that was an option.

I love this tender Christmas madcap crazy movie. It has heart, soul, compassion and it is cast beautifully with a diverse ensemble of talented actors. It's 2014 and it's about time we start watching movies that accurately represents the U.S.A. Kudos for the great casting! Carlos Gomez is perfect as the widower and father of a daughter stationed in Afghanistan. Loved it all! And, as a bona-fide dog lover, well, it's a home run!

Hallmark Channel movies are great but I hope to see more stories with diverse cast. Anne Heche is also great as the frazzled mom who probably wishes she could have a do-over and start the day all over again. Ever have one of those days where everything goes wrong from the moment you wake up? One Christmas Eve is one of those days. You'll laugh, smile, and rejoice in turning it all around... if only it could be.

I have been searching to see when Hallmark will show the movie again, sadly not the Christmas of 2017. Compared to the political climate this year, we need a break and this movie was a break for me and my family. It is 2 weeks before Christmas and this movie along with the family stories of the unusual things that happen at Christmas helped my kids smile a little bit. Too bad the general population spoiled that for us. I am just a grandma trying to make my grandkids smile a little.

Its a little politically correct, but outside of that this is a hallmark Christmas comedy that will have great appeal to several groups of folks

--Most guys who are not afraid to be caught watching a hallmark movie, dog lovers, and people who are not hoping for a Christmas solve all problems romance movie

--Chemistry is good between actors, kids are not depicted as too spoiled, story line keeps U engaged, goodly amount of subtle guy humor, acting is pretty good, and LOTS of PUPPY !!
