Excellent but underrated film

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

This epic quote from it sums up both the movie and 90s/00s/10s culture: "I'm a millennial type of guy. I dig world music. I think freons should be banned. I'm all about yoga and macrobiotic food. I'm in touch with my inner child..." That's actually the first time I ever heard the word millennial. There is 90s pop culture oozing from every scene. The net (with a Yahooligans style graphic interface), answering machines, Aqua, overalls, beepers, Amber, backwards hats, leather jackets, Dave Matthews Band tickets, a photo of President Bill Clinton, payphones (even on a bus), Blink 182, travel agents, cordless phones, Cherry Popping Daddies, watches, frosted tips, and a Smash Mouth poster. Best of all, Allie is all about feminism, poetry, girl power, and slugging pervs. Aforementioned perv assumes she listens to Jewel, Sarah McLachlan, Fiona Apple, and Natalie Merchant, which makes me love her even more. We need more intelligent and free spirited women like them in the world.

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.

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.

This movie is fabulous! It has great acting and a good story line. I saw this for the first time in fifth grade and I still love this movie so much. Jonathon Taylor Thomas did such a great job at his part. So did Jessica Biel. I suggest this movie to everyone!
