Christmas Every Day (TV 1996) 13 year old boy, who dose not like Christmas, who is being rude and nasty but when He tells his sister that Santa is not real, she then wish it would be xmas every day. And her wish come true, that the boy keeps waking up on Xmas day. Before you say they rip-off Groundhog down, this is actually remake of Christmas Every Day (TV 1987) and also was remade again as Christmas Do over.This was really good and sweet movie, had a lot stuff happens in this movie, there funny moment as well. Acting was really good ,this great Xmas movie 8 out of 10
Trying to get in the spirit of the holidays and I start with a remake of Groundhog Day. It's not Bill Murray, but it was a sweet Christmas story about how a 13 year old (Erik von Detten) finds the true meaning of Christmas.Director Larry Peerce (Goodbye, Columbus) kept things moving smoothly and didn't get bogged down in what could have been a boring repetition."Starman" Robert Hays and Bess Armstrong ("My So-Called Life") were great as 1950s-type parents. Even George Allen made an appearance in his actual role as the Governor.Great movie to kick off my Christmas adventure.
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.)
A 13 year old boy, a lad I wanted to slap across a large space, detests Christmas and all the family gathering that goes with it. After his sister talks him into wishing Christmas would come every day, suddenly it became Christmas each morning of his life. There was much whining from the boy for the first couple of mornings, but eventually he came to realize that the holidays weren't as bad as they appeared. Funny, entertaining picture even though it was schmaltzy and unrealistic.
