100 volte Natale

We've all been there, even in a loving family, regardless of gender :) It's nice to watch how Pete sorts out his teen angst, finds his maturity and deals with the dichotomies of family love. Bruce Dern is fantastic :) It's fun to watch these uptight, self-focused people - kids and grownups alike, become derailed and find themselves, each other, and their family again, not necessarily in that order. It's one of my favourite Christmas movies. First saw it one year when I was watching *all* the Christmas movies, and this was one of the best. A lot of them were coming out of Canada at that time. Another one I liked was "Father Christmas, Who?", with Leslie Nielsen. Anyway, it has a lot of fun moments, a lot of sweetness, with the disappointments of real life treated gently.
