Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.
Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
junesakl True movie was a slight ripoff of a tremendous Bill Murray flick, but you've got to admit, Diane (played by Kara Woods) is a definite cuttie. Has anyone seen her in any other films our TV shows out there? She was the lone bright spot in an otherwise lame movie. Everyone has had a crappy Christmas at some point of time in their past, and after seeing this movie I've come to realize that it's never as bad as you think. Besides the lame storyline, and mediocre acting, it manages to sum up how bad some Christmas's, and then again how heartwarming, they can be. Thank god they found Kara Woods to play Diane, without her this wouldn't have even made video stores but gone straight to UPN.
icy_flowers This movie may have not have been the winner of any Oscar, but still, it holds it's spot up there with a lot of other festive, made for tv movies, and always draws me to the couch with a bowl of popcorn while that special day approaches. This movie has all that a good Christmas fan will appreciate, and all that a good movie needs to be-well-good. A plot. Young Billy just isn't in the spirit anymore. Due to a fateful wish his sister purposed to engage in Christmas every single day, Billy and his family (although he is in the only one who knows) engages in Christmas every single day for four of five days.Some laughs.The seconds manger scene was rather funny. And just some small quirky comments here and there. Oh yes. And of course I got a kick out of Billy's rich, spoiled cousin who was suppose to spend the day at Tinsel Town, but found herself in the prescene of carrots, mashed potatos, and peas instead. A lesson.To appreciate Christmas. To appreciate family. To appreciate life. To appreciate that this jubilant day can come but only once a year. I love this movie and am so glad that ABCFamily airs it every year. I only wish it were out on VHS or DVD to buy. Maybe you can and I just don't know it?
Havan_IronOak Every year we get another schmaltzy Christmas flick or two. This one fits squarely in that category but is easy to watch and has some redeeming moments. --Caution -- the rest of this review contains some spoilers.Billy Jackson is a 13 year old who's not fond of Christmas and has a typical 13 year-old's problems, He's not great at basketball, his dad runs a not very successful store in a boring small town, the girl he's attracted to has a jock boyfriend that is ready willing and able to deck him if he makes his feelings known. After a particularly bad Christmas, his sister makes a wish that it would be Christmas every day and a time loop is formed. Billy gets to relive the day over and over. We watch as Billy tries a number of strategies. First is Outrage since he can't really believe that its happening he protests throughout the day but of course nothing really different happens. Second Selfish/Revenge/Romance. Since his first strategy doesn't work, Billy decides to take advantage of what he knows. He plans it so that everything goes his way. But of course that doesn't work.Third, solve the worlds problems. Since being selfish doesn't cut it he tries being selfless and discovers that no one can solve all the world's problems. Finally, concentrate on family, make the best of what you can do. Of course this strategy works and Billy is finally able to enjoy Christmas and the loop is broken. The one thing that didn't quite ring true was at the end, when his mother wishes that every day could be Christmas, Billy screams. If he really has learned his lesson, then he should not have any worries that the day would repeat.
helpless_dancer A 13 year old boy, a lad I wanted to slap across a large space, detests Christmas and all the family gathering that goes with it. After his sister talks him into wishing Christmas would come every day, suddenly it became Christmas each morning of his life. There was much whining from the boy for the first couple of mornings, but eventually he came to realize that the holidays weren't as bad as they appeared. Funny, entertaining picture even though it was schmaltzy and unrealistic.
