    A fun Christmas film

    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?

    Childhood Memories

    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!

    Sweet and Funny

    I'll Be Home for Christmas is a sweet and funny holiday movie. The cast works well together to bring you film with easy-going laughs. So if you are looking for an amusing, sweet, and relaxed Christmas movie, you will probably enjoy it. Don't try to examine it like a deep, dramatic film, because Oscar material it isn't. But it is a well-portrayed unpretentious holiday comedy. So just relax and enjoy.

    This isn't a Jingle all the Way, but it'll do.

    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.

    Just relax and enjoy it a little...

    OK. You can't expect a new "Miracle on the 34th street" here. But I like the Christmas season and the movies that are carried on with it. But the most important for me: My 9 yo son laughed a lot.....

    • Trivia
      Although both Jake and Allie are college students, Jonathan Taylor Thomas and Jessica Biel were both minors at the time of the film.
    • Goofs
      There's no reason for Eddie to drive through Wisconsin where the Santa run happens when traveling from California to Larchmont, NY.
    • Quotes

      Allie: [Reluctantly agreeing to go home with Eddie] First the ground rules. If you say too many stupid things, I'll have to slug you. If you say anything nasty about Jake, I'll have to slug you. If you try to feel me up, I'll have to slug you. If you make me listen to any sexist, racist, or homophobic jokes, I'm gonna have to slug you. And finally, I might just have to slug you from time to time, simply because I find the prospect of driving across the country with you incredibly stressful!

      Eddie: All right. Sounds like a party to me.

    • Crazy credits
      On the Walt Disney Pictures logo, as soon as the curving line is created, Christmas lights appear and flash continuously all over it.
