Another Christmas Favorite!!!

Ever since I was a kid, I've liked this movie. My mom always makes us watch this around Christmas. It has an awesome storyline about a college student named Jake who never wants to go home for Christmas, but his dad calls and bribes him a 1957 Porsche if he's home at 6:00 Christmas Eve. At a college Christmas party, some bullies lead by Eddie, knock Jake out and put a Santa Claus suit on him. Jake goes through a lot trying to get home. Eddie takes Jake's girlfriend, Allie with him to go home for Christmas. Jake has to give presents to orphan kids, help a cop with his marriage, and enter a race with everyone wearing Santa suits. Will Jake get home in time? If you love Christmas, you'll love I'LL BE HOME FOR CHRISTMAS!!! December 5, 2008

Bah humbug!

"I'll be home for Christmas" stars former child star Jonathan Taylor Thomas. JT2 is a teenaged boy who'd rather not go home for Christmas to be with his family, since his father remarried 10 months after his mother died (if this were Shakespeare,he'd be bemoaning that his father would be warming the marital bed while his mother is barely cold in her grave) His father bribes him with a Porsche- in the spirit of Christmas giving.

As if an answer to his prayers, JT2 gets beaten up by bullies&stranded in the desert in a Santa outfit. Jessica Biel has a thankless role as JT2's girlfriend. She gets to be pretty,and that's all,folks. JT2 encounters cattle, elderly Tom Jones fans, and so on. It all makes for a boring odyssey.

"I'll be home for Christmas" has the power to make the hapless reviewer into an Ebenezer Scrooge. February 1, 2008
