This is How Movies Should Be Made

Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

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?

This movie has been played on the same station, same time, every Christmas Day since 1997. Since this year is no exception, it has become almost family tradition for it to be watched. Over all I like the movie based on a Ground-hog day genre. The characters are funny and Erik VD, is a joy to watch.

The makers of this film could not have seriously thought that they were making an original film. They MUST have known that they were ripping off "Groundhog Day". They must have. Having said that the film itself is alright. But a little annoying.The kid is okay enough. He's not as irritating as most kids in movies but he does go thru some clichéd "teenage" moments involving girls that was kind of cringe-worthy to watch. Also there was no reason why he fell at the bottom of the stairs every morning. Why did that happen exactly?This is an acceptable movie to watch on Xmas Eve or around the holiday season. So if a network is showing it then watching it will not be a bad thing.

I saw this movie one night, and it really cracked me up! The look that has Billy every morning when he hears the exact same Christmas cheers is hilarious! It's funny how he knows how each day is going to turn out, since he keeps living the same day over and over, and how he's adjusting the same day every day until it stops.Watch this movie. It can give you a real, good laugh!
