Christmas Every Day

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.

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.

I thought this movie was enjoyable. It was a little predictable but most Chistmas movies are. It was well acted and well presented - they casting choices were solid. It would certainly be suitable for children to watch, and it is something you can show your elderly relatives too. The dilemmas the boy in the movie faced and his different solutions were realistic. This movie is upbeat and amusing. But, it also deals with traditional Christmas themes and the problems with focusing on yourself versus the satisfaction of focusing on others. So many Christmas movies feel the need to be heart wrenching and dramatic - this one is primarily feel good.

If you are expecting Hitchcock - then pass. If you are looking for a feel good Christmas movie that kids and adults would enjoy (except maybe the most hardboiled action movie junkie) this is a good choice.

Loved this movie as a child and now that I am an adult I have been watching it every Christmas for the past 8 years.

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?
