jennycarlson383 i like this film because the whole IDEA of it was to make it home on time for Christmas in order for Jake to be given the Porsche. now I've seen some of the other comments given about this film...its JUST A MOVIE. i think who ever wrote it was just trying to make a point to their story and for people to understand that it didn't matter about the Porsche or getting home by six O'Clock. it just mattered that you got home and spent it with the family. thats what i think the writer and director was trying to show. this film is good for a holiday movie. i would suggest this to any family who spend holidays together and looking for a film thats funny and has humor in it.

adavis From 1994-1998 movie producers were obsessed with turning JTT into a major film star because he was the voice of the Lion King. With the exception of the Lion King, every film Thomas would star in did poorly at the box office. This film was no exception. Producers have made the same mistake with stars like Jennifer Love Hewitt and Giovanni Ribisi just to name a few. Its amazing it can take up the 3 duds to show an actor has no star power. I might be wrong but I don't think Thomas has had a starring role since this film. After this dismal failure, filmmakers must have since the light a realized Thomas was such an overrated child actor that had grown up.

Mr7134 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.

xxcoolchickxx2004 I cannot believe some of the things you people write on here. Last year (December 2003) was the first time I saw this movie and to be honest ... I loved it. I mean I was just sitting here and I was cracking up. I have to say that it isn't the best movie I have ever seen but it is definitely in my top 5. Jonathan Taylor Thomas was really good, I didn't know him when he was younger so I couldn't say that he was better when he was younger, or cuter, but judging from thie movie I think hes pretty goood. Now for all you monkeys out there who don't think this movie is good, what would consider to be a good movie? Because I am at a lose to figure out what movies you people like!
