 Hectic movie December 21, 2007

the family holiday was a silly, shallow, simile of a make believe family who in the end becomes a real family, I think...though marriage was never mentioned, and I believe all families should start with marriage...
Slow to go December 2, 2007
The Family Holiday
This film is fairly good family entertainment. It is slow to get going, and does not have a great deal of content, but all in all a cute, clean, funny, heartwarming holiday fare.

Thank God for Dave Coulier! Not only is this film clean, but cute and heart warming as well. Dave has an amazing comedic talent and I'm so thankful to be able to show this film around kids and not have to worry about the content. The story is fun, original and easy to follow, I enjoyed it.
A wonderful holiday treat and for $7.99, WHAT A STEAL!!!
 A Great Film that all ages will enjoy. November 16, 2007

I was very excited to finally see "The Family Holiday." Purchasing my copy, I drove home and relaxed in front of my TV. Being a long time fan of Dave Coulier, I was eager to see him in a more leading role, and in no way was I disappointed. Apart from a few weak performances by minor characters, the film is very well directed and acted. The two kids shine, leaving all of those cynics who tend to put down child actors having to recant their comments.
Christina Pickles is brilliant as Mrs. Pendergast, and Coulier shows a dramatic side that few have had the privilege to see. Intermixed with all of Coulier's physical comedy, voices, quick-wit, and good (Clean Guy) humor, is something deeply emotional that finally has a chance to stand out. It's a film that you can watch with your family, kids, adults, elderly, pets, or any plant you may really care about, and not be afraid of what they might hear or see. Kids will love the physical humor, and the crafty skills of the twins. Adults will enjoy the deeper meaning of family, and what truly matters in your life; not the material possessions, but those things that money cannot replace.
Watch it when you want something that will just make you feel good. It will make you want to bake cookies, sit by a fire, hug your parents, and listen to your Grandparents stories. It's a perfect movie for this time of year, time to concentrate on what is truly important: the ones you love. I'd recommend this movie to anyone who has a heart, who can look at the lighter side of life, who has a family, and can watch a movie purely for enjoyment, not as an analysis class. Plus, it has puppies, and who doesn't love puppies?
Please watch this film; it's made by good people with good intentions. It's clean, funny, caring, cute, and above all the meaning of the story is something everyone should hear. That family is a blessing everyone should have in their lives, regardless of age, background, wealth and reputation.
 Almost the worse Christmas movie ever! November 16, 2007
4 out of 9 found this review helpful
I was so much looking forward to receiving this movie from Amazon... ready to sit by the fire and Christmas tree and enjoy what claimed to be a movie about the "true meaning of Christmas".
I am so disappointed, I can hardly describe how bad this movie is. I know Amazon will not return the $7.99, but I do think the writer of the movie script should refund money to everyone who buys it. It is positively the worse written script I have ever seen.
The kids and dog were okay, but the real shame here falls on Dave Coulier, who should have known better than to be in such a bad movie. He obviously never read the scrip beforehand. Most of his lines didn't even make sense.
There was one scene out in the snowy woods looking for a tree that I thought might save this movie, but NO LUCK --they decided not to cut down a tree! And one scene with Santa looked a little promising--but Santa had no white beard--just looked like a drunk who had not shaved for days.
If you are looking for a holiday movie about the true meaning of Christmas--keep looking.I gave this 1 star, because I don't think Amazon will let me give it no star for this review--but that is what it deserves----N0 Star.
