A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

I'll Be Home For Christmas is a very mediocre and lazy film. The acting is pretty much laughable and very poor. The script and dialogue is embarrassingly bad and disappointing . I mean Adam LaVorgna is pretty nice to look at, and I did enjoy his character, but that's really the only character I liked. Heck, the best scene in the entire film is where Eddie comes out shirtless and gets his towel taken from him lol. But anyways, back to the actual movie, basically this movie is just a bunch of stupid sight gags that end up falling flat, peppered with some pretty bad acting. There's not a whole lot more to it then that, it's poorly made, dumb, and not entertaining in the least. I was expecting a good bit more once I saw the wait Disney logo on the cover. Also, the main character is kind of a jackass, I couldn't stand his character or his attitude. 3/10 simply because I loved looking at Adam LaVorgna, but that's really it's ONLY saving grace.

There no Tim Allen in this movie but not far from it!This time Randy from Home Improvement show but this time playing Jake.The dad as tells son, if come home before 6pm on Christmas he will get the posrche/But it not that simple as think always to get in away, when bullies kidnapped him and clue Santa suit to his body and leave in the dessert.There are funny moment in this movie and on the way he helps some people like the way, which was nice touch to the movie. Then half hour into the movie,it gets a predicable and the really cheesy ending Worth watching xmas movie

This film is mediocre to the extreme. It could, if you can overlook the glaring plot holes, be something good to watch on Christmas Eve if there is nothing else on and you have had a few drinks. It's not the worst movie ever made, but it is clichéd, predictable and not very funny. Three out of ten- and that might be a case of me being over generous because it's, as I write this, December 12th. What is also frustrating is that there's a nucleus of a good idea in the script- albeit one that has been done before. If the script had been redrafted a few more times, and if some of the Disney schmaltz had been remove then the film might have landed, somewhere, on the better side of OK.Jessica Biel isn't bad though.

`Home Improvement' star Jonathan Taylor Thomas stars in this predictable family comedy as a college kid whose father will promise him a new car if he makes it home before Christmas dinner begins. Thomas is in top form, but this should have been a two-part episode of `Home Improvement,' for he had left the show not long before this film was released. The Santa Race is the highlight of the film, but because there is little else here that is entertaining, this movie is only recommended for fans of the teen star.2 out of 5
