junesakl True movie was a slight ripoff of a tremendous Bill Murray flick, but you've got to admit, Diane (played by Kara Woods) is a definite cuttie. Has anyone seen her in any other films our TV shows out there? She was the lone bright spot in an otherwise lame movie. Everyone has had a crappy Christmas at some point of time in their past, and after seeing this movie I've come to realize that it's never as bad as you think. Besides the lame storyline, and mediocre acting, it manages to sum up how bad some Christmas's, and then again how heartwarming, they can be. Thank god they found Kara Woods to play Diane, without her this wouldn't have even made video stores but gone straight to UPN.

havert-royland My wife, daughter, and I caught this made-for-television film recently on the ABC Family Channel. It was upbeat and unpredictable, though somewhat forgettable. However, if you continue to be fascinated by the GROUNDHOG DAY premise of the same day being repeated over and over--somewhat like a manipulative dream--then it may be worth a look. (Note: The lead male actor provided the voice for "Sid" in Disney's TOY STORY.) My personal carps are few. I did not, for example, understand why the young blond girl was so important to the thirteen-year-old protagonist. (There were several fantastic opportunities to manipulate his family and his community that he passed up during his quest to score a simple date.)

icy_flowers 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?

Shawn Watson 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.
