I bought this on video from e-bay a few weeks ago and just got around to watching it as we speak. I love Xmas movies, I watched Santa Who? a few days ago(which surprised me, it was a fantastic film) and to be honest I originally got this not only because of the Xmas feeling but also Jessica Biel and I have to admit, this has risen to one of my top Xmas movies.

I was wondering though if anybody knows of any more Xmas family movies.

I currently own....

Home Alone 1,2,3,4
Santa Who?
Miracle on 34th Street
Jingle All the Way
Gremlins
Scrooged

Every Christmas Eve since I was about 11 I watch it. It has become somewhat of a tradition, and I adore this film!

I don't understand why this movie is so lowrated, it's a fun family movie, I watch this movie every year and I love this christmasmovie, maybe also because it's a roadtrip movie.

I had never seen this movie untill a few days ago, and I really like it. I don;t get why it's rated so low. the cast was good too (and I think it's sad that a talent like Jonathan Taylor Thomas hasn't done much lately...but a comeback is coming)

anyway, great movie, one of the better christmas movies out there

I love this movie. I don't think it's the best Christmas movie ever but it is definitely enjoyable and I watch it every year even if it isn't Christmas time. I think it deserves a higher rating on here. And it sad that Jonathan Taylor Thomas hasn't really done much for a while.

Ever since I was 7 I watched this movie at Christmas and absolutely LOVE it. I am shocked it got such a low rating, sure, it's not a masterpiece, but it's a cute little movie to watch to get into the spirit of chrismas:)

I first saw this movie when it was released to VHS, during Christmas Break when I was 12; in a 4 foot snow piled covered house in Utah. All of our family loved it. Hilarious: Hey, Jingle Balls, move it. Lol.

I haven't seen it since then, but my outlook on humor hasn't changed. I'll be watching all the good Christmas Comedies this year, yah!

I watched this movie in the hospital (had an awful flu) and I thought it was an enjoyable holiday movie. I especially liked all those Santas running in a marathon, way funny!

I just saw it on TV. I thought it was surprisingly funny. I don't think it's a masterpiece or anything, but I don't understand the 4.1 rating.

I just got this movie, it is a lot better than I thought it would be.

I have to agree. This movie is severely underrated and I watch it once or twice every Christmas. Highly overlooked classic.

I saw it 3 times with my 7 and 9 year old kids-a boy and a girl- the year it came out! Now of course we own the movie!
