This is a remake of Christmas Every Day (Which I have only saw for the first time this year), I have seen the Do over a few times now. Both are really different in their own way, the is the same, their a lot, as changed and I found this bit more of Comedy then Christmas Every Day, which more of a Drama.However this , as some really good funny moments , that make you laugh out loud, there were moment's were the jokes don't work and falls flat, before they are even over.This is a decent Christmas movie, not the best, Kids might enjoy more then adults, who can not wait for it to end. 5 out of 10
... View MoreI just saw this movie last night (rented from my local library), and I was not amused. Let me list how many things are wrong with this movie. Jay Mohr as a divorced man visiting his son for Christmas...actually, that's okay. What is not okay is, he doesn't care enough about his son to get him a decent Christmas present (He says at the store, "I'll have whatever he's getting" without even knowing what it was the other man was buying...how uncaring is that?). He rejects his son's invitation to go camping, not because he has work or something, but because he doesn't feel like spending time with him. He's rude to his ex-wife's parents (who didn't have to invite him, but did so that he could see his son for the holiday), he's rude to his ex-wife and her boyfriend, and when he gets the chance to 'right his wrongs', he actually does worse. He attacks a Santa Claus, attacks a Nativity Scene couple, pigs out on holiday pies, steals his wife's boyfriend's Christmas present to his son, and other things I will not mention here because it's all too insulting. If you can believe it, this schmuck actually gets his way at the end of the movie; he sends his ex-wife's very caring boyfriend packing and wins her back, after all the devious things he did! I realize this was a family film (ha!), but this man didn't do anything to deserve a happy ending. I give this three stars because it wasn't the worst movie I've ever seen (in fact, it's not even the worst Christmas movie I've ever seen), and because I feel generous as I write this. But I do NOT recommend this movie because it achieves nothing in the learning department about the Christmas spirit.
... View MoreThe last reviewer said it was a remake of Groundhog day or a rip off and that's not true. This film is a remake of Christmas Everyday which is a film i grew up with and stars Erik Von Detton was aimed more at teenagers. It's a funnier film and has a warmth to it. This film however lacks snow, and likable characters at first. This is one of the shows I catch every year on ABC Family Channel as well as Christmas Everyday. However this isn't as good as the original, and lacks a little bit of warmth and charm that the original had. The only funny thing really about the movie is Jay Mohr, who it's kind fun to see go crazy and psychotic. It was nice to see Daphne Zuniga in something new, but other than that it's average at best.
... View MoreWow, I really liked that movie a lot. It's really funny and you can really enjoy it with the whole family. I showed it to my mom and she was laughing the whole time. Jay Mohr does such a great job acting in this movie. He is so funny! I like him a lot. So if you are into comedy and all that stuff, then you should watch this movie because I assure you, you will be laughing and you probably won't stop, well for quite a while that is. The reason that I watch this movie was because my friend told me that it was really good. And she was right! It was. I'd most likely be watching it over and over again. I'd never get tried of watching it!
