Featured reviews
There have been two other movies about being in a time loop on Christmas. So this movie falls short of being original.
Christmas morning is here, When 11 year old Rowena(Scarlett Estevez) has a mishap of a holiday, and wishes she could do it over, a mall santa grants her wish. When she gets stuck in the time loop, Rowena decides to milk it for what it's worth, but will she discover the true meaning of Christmas during that?
Scarlett Estevez starts out annoying. But she gets better has the movie goes on, but the problem here is too much of the movie was put on her to carry by herself. And that is where it got uninteresting, cause most of the other actors don't really grab you, there just kind of there. Even the two Home Alone movies Culkin didn't carry those films by himself. Some of the jokes don't quite land. Scarlett Estevez is a charming actress, and she does make this somewhat watchable, but other than that, the movie itself is just alright.

Watched as a family.
Was slow to start. Some obvious similarities to Ground Hog Day and possibly some melodramatic moments but, it ended up being quite charming.
The family ended up really liking it. Even the teenagers.
Christmas Again had been added to the prestigious and very cut-throat list of family Christmas movies .
It's not a 5 Star. It predictable. But it's worth a revisit.

In Chicago, Rowena Clybourne (Scarlett Estevez) is a 12 year old with large expectations from her yearly Christmas family celebrations. None of it goes off as planned and she has a terrible time. She storms out and runs into Santa in front of her house. He gets her to wish for a Christmas do-over.
As a concept, I have no problems with a kiddie Groundhog Day Christmas. I'm sure that Scarlett Estevez is or will be a solid Disney TV star. They try out a lot of stories, but it runs out of steam pretty quickly. I like the bully story most of all but I don't like the resolution. There is too much and not enough. It needs a big overarching story. Groundhog Day has the love story to finish it off. This one struggles to find that story.

Disney's usual trope of awful events in a kids movie.
Doesn't divorced parents and an unhappy child just scream "The most wonderful time of the year"?
Could have been a light-hearted kids festive groundhog day.

They really need to stop putting adult Thames inappropriate in a family kid movie and certain changes ..so I took away points and say was mostly good just not super or fully kid family friendly entertainment thanks try again Disney .
