Diagonaldi Very well executed

Whitech It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.

Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Brooklynn There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

Amrit Singh I love Christmas movies, especially the ones made for TV. Most of them are cheesy and unrealistic, but thats what I love! They take you completely away from reality! They have to, most of them have Santa in them right? :)The casting for this movie, yes, very questionable. Daphne looked much older than the gentleman playing her husband, but the worst casting of all time, in any movie I've ever seen, is the older basketball playing son. He does look like he's 30+, and his hairstyle, for a man who looks 30, makes me laugh every time I watch this movie. But its one of the reasons I keep watching it, lol! Every year I look for this movie, because that actor makes me cackle! :) It's still a warm Christmasy movie, family, friends, gorgeous Christmas decor, beautiful home, everyone always looking so stylish and fancy (I wear my pajamas when i decorate my tree, hm, i wear my pajamas for a lot of things i think..) and the moral of the story is nice.So if you're not hard pressed to work for the two hours that it airs, sit, relax, dial your brain down, and look for the older son's hairstyle! ha ha ha! :)

divaofsongs I am not going to give a long or detailed review but I just wanted to say that this movie was very funny, light-hearted, and family friendly. I laughed so hard that I had to pause the DVR several times because I could not stop laughing. The baking scene with the boys and their dad was so funny! This movie is a reminder to spouses and children all over the world, that the home's matriarch/patriarch does so much to make the Holiday's perfect for everyone else, so it would be nice if everyone else could just pitch in and take some of the burden off of their shoulders. I cannot understand why this movie got such a low rating, I thought it was great!

phd_travel This is a light and quite amusing family comedy. The first two thirds of this movie is quite fun and entertaining. Haven't really seen a movie where the men try to cook and mess up and it's quite laugh out loud funny.Daphne Zuniga looks quite young for her age and is pleasing to watch - always wondered why she didn't get more roles. David Sutcliffe looks a bit young to be a father of teens. The later part kind of gets corny but it's a good movie for families with just sons and no daughters to watch (or daughters who don't help their moms). Watch it and appreciate mom a bit more.

wackerg Syrupy chick flick lacking the guts it needs to be convincing. Casting Julia Duffy as Joy Robinson's mother was foolish, given that she is either too young to play that part, or that Zuniga is too old to play her part. In addition, was the slightly quavery voice Duffy used really supposed to convince us that she was older? Puhleeze! Either way, it didn't work for me. Nevertheless, the Joy Robinson character needs to grow a set! I was never, at any time, convinced that Joy had reached her end point in tolerance for her feckless, thoughtless and egocentric men-children. She reminds me of the off-brand trash bags: wimpy, wimpy, wimpy!!
