Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

Absolutely the worst movie.

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

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

I just watched it and I loved it. Its about a college kid who's father has promised him a Porsche if he can get home by 6:00 Christmas Eve. I think Jonathan Taylor Thomas was perfect for the role of Jake Wilkinson. He has just enough smart aleck in him and enough charisma to pull it off. Along the way, Jake must face many obstacles such as having a Santa beard and hat glued to his face and head respectively. The line that really got me hooked was at the beginning where Thomas, being his natural smart Aleck, witty talking self, told his girlfriend after saying he had tickets to an event and she reacted poorly that he knew she would be... p***ed. This is a definite holiday great. Right up there with Home Alone and Its a Good Life. Hope the review helped.

First of all I'm just thankful there's a holiday movie out there that isn't Jingle All the Way, Christmas with the Kranks and especially the Grinch..ugh. This movie is a great Christmas movie, why's everybody gotta bag on a good ol standard xmas flick just because there are no major stars, songs or special effects. Seriously. Get over yourselves. Johnathan is a great lead, he's effective emotionally and his cookie cutter transformation is warm and real. Honestly, I enjoyed the way the film made me feel. Without having to go through trashy sleaze to get to the nice ending. There aren't many quality Christmas films being made anymore. The last truly wonderful Christmas movie I saw in Theaters was The Preachers Wife. Denzel, Whitney, and tons of music. I'll Be Home, although not on the same scale, still shows plenty of heart.

In my opinion, this is an excellent Christmas movie with a message to it. If you ask me, every mishap that Jake (Jonathan Taylor Thomas) encountered while trying to get home from California to New York for Christmas was absolutely hilarious. The most hilarious one, to me, was when he encountered Eddie (Adam LaVorgna) in his hotel room. This was because he had Jake's girlfriend (Jessica Biel) with him. Please, don't tell me my sense of enjoyment is twisted. In addition, the bus driver was a complete jerk. Also, from the looks of it, the Porsche that was at stake was absolutely vintage. The reason I said that is because it was a 1957 model. In conclusion, if you like Jonathan Taylor Thomas or Christmas movies, this is one you'll definitely want to see.

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!
