Wissenswertes
Although both Jake and Allie are college students, Jonathan Taylor Thomas and Jessica Biel were both minors at the time of the film.

Patzer
There's no reason for Eddie to drive through Wisconsin where the Santa run happens when traveling from California to Larchmont, NY.

Zitate
Allie: [Reluctantly agreeing to go home with Eddie] First the ground rules. If you say too many stupid things, I'll have to slug you. If you say anything nasty about Jake, I'll have to slug you. If you try to feel me up, I'll have to slug you. If you make me listen to any sexist, racist, or homophobic jokes, I'm gonna have to slug you. And finally, I might just have to slug you from time to time, simply because I find the prospect of driving across the country with you incredibly stressful!
Eddie: All right. Sounds like a party to me.

Crazy Credits

Fine festive viewing

Well intentioned Christmas film, just a little undercooked.

Jonathan Taylor Thomas is the lead of 'I'll Be Home for Christmas' and he's pretty good, especially at playing the cocky school kid. I feel his arc is satisfactory, though it would've been nice if there was a longer spell of him realising/correcting his behaviour.

Still, I feel there's enough in there to justify the (predictable) happy ending. I, also, like the road trip elements. Elsewhere on the cast, a young Jessica Biel appears as Allie. She's solid, as is Adam LaVorgna as Eddie. It's also noteworthy to see Gary Cole involved.

It's nothing impactful or anything, but it's fine festive viewing.
