Is this a lost classic?


I loved this movie as a kid. It seems to have faded into obscurity.

Relax. It's playing on the Peacock app if you don't have a copy. It's bad on so many levels, and yet I prefer it (especially its first half) to any of the awful Hallmark Christmas romantic comedies.

I watch it every year. It was a regular movie we watched when I was a kid. My wife and I still watch it today. I recommend it regularly to my friends with kids just to be sure they have an opportunity to enjoy it too. It's a fun family movie.

It's different too, which is nice. I never hear anyone talk about it anymore. It's a shame too.

Should be played more on regular TV.
This movie is fun, but kinda all over the place.

The beginning is fantastic, but yes, it changes drastically in tone and story.

I was just thinking about this the other day and wondering why people don’t talk about it much.

I love this movie and wish it was more well known

They just added it to a couple more streaming services, so I'll probably watch it for the first time in years this Christmas.
