Ricomincio da Natale

This movie may have not have been the winner of any Oscar, but still, it holds it's spot up there with a lot of other festive, made for tv movies, and always draws me to the couch with a bowl of popcorn while that special day approaches. This movie has all that a good Christmas fan will appreciate, and all that a good movie needs to be-well-good. A plot.

Young Billy just isn't in the spirit anymore. Due to a fateful wish his sister purposed to engage in Christmas every single day, Billy and his family (although he is in the only one who knows) engages in Christmas every single day for four of five days.

Some laughs.

The seconds manger scene was rather funny. And just some small quirky comments here and there. Oh yes. And of course I got a kick out of Billy's rich, spoiled cousin who was suppose to spend the day at Tinsel Town, but found herself in the prescene of carrots, mashed potatos, and peas instead.

A lesson.

To appreciate Christmas. To appreciate family. To appreciate life. To appreciate that this jubilant day can come but only once a year.

I love this movie and am so glad that ABCFamily airs it every year. I only wish it were out on VHS or DVD to buy. Maybe you can and I just don't know it?

A self-absorbed 13-year-old (Erik von Detten) reliving Christmas, day after day, until he appreciates its meaning.

He pouts about gifts he doesn't want. Realities he doesn't want to see and little sister that is just a pain in the butt to him.

This is OKAY at best. However what it does show the viewer is the fact we will keep repeating mistakes if we don't learn from them. Those mistakes might not exactly repeat themselves in the same way but if you don't learn from them they will manifest somewhere.

What I like best about this film was that Christmas is more "Than gifts and giving gifts". "Its the giving of your time" how we "Treat One Another".

Family Safe.

OK ,well it wont let me leave a comment unless i have 10 lines of text, so here goes: I enjoyed this movie a lot, yet as everyone else already stated..it was very much like Groundhog Day. It had a nice lesson, and almost everyone can relate to it. The little sister was a cute addition, and i can relate to her wanting to sleep on his bed. Anyway, I'm really just taking up space so that I will have 10 lines of text so that I can get to my question, the reason i was here in the first place. (haha)

My little boy absolutely loved the movie, though. They used to show it every year on TV and for some reason they have quit showing it. My boy is devastated and I would really like to get it for him to be able to see.

Does anybody know where i can get a copy of this movie?

I saw this movie one night, and it really cracked me up! The look that has Billy every morning when he hears the exact same Christmas cheers is hilarious! It's funny how he knows how each day is going to turn out, since he keeps living the same day over and over, and how he's adjusting the same day every day until it stops.

Watch this movie. It can give you a real, good laugh!

A fun movie with no dull spots. It is in the tradition of Ground Hog Day which I absolutely love. In this case a 13 year old boy repeats Christmas day until he gets it right. More recently this was tried in Pete's Christmas (2013) to great success but I think the cast is better in this movie.

Absolutely love the parts played by the father and mother as well as the uncle and aunt. The 13 year old boy put good energy into his part. They really didn't give us a good reason why the day repeats (no angel or magic) but I loved it. Yes this was good enough to repeat watching.
