Everyone in the family (except for the grandparent) were so annoying, they were driving me mad! At the end is Ok.

Very lame attempt to cash in on Groundhog Day. Acting was... none, probably because there were no actors (anyone's ever heard of). The usual repeat a day, over and over, but without anything even slightly entertaining. The main character was unlikeable, the family members were... unlikeable, the parents were the most plastic caricatures you could imagine, and Bruce Dern? Why? Mail me a check, please. I can't begin to describe how many levels it failed on.

We've all been there, even in a loving family, regardless of gender :) It's nice to watch how Pete sorts out his teen angst, finds his maturity and deals with the dichotomies of family love. Bruce Dern is fantastic :) It's fun to watch these uptight, self-focused people - kids and grownups alike, become derailed and find themselves, each other, and their family again, not necessarily in that order. It's one of my favourite Christmas movies. First saw it one year when I was watching *all* the Christmas movies, and this was one of the best. A lot of them were coming out of Canada at that time. Another one I liked was "Father Christmas, Who?", with Leslie Nielsen. Anyway, it has a lot of fun moments, a lot of sweetness, with the disappointments of real life treated gently.

Surprisingly good film, which keeps you interested throughout. Had there never been Groundhog Day, it would be 1 or 2/10 more than this vote. As there has been Groundhog Day, on a similar premise you cannot help but compare them. This is not as good as that was, the lead boy in parts can be a little peculiar as are the family and grandad for the earlier part of the film. But the film doesn't always go exactly as you will expect and it is never dull and comes together well in the end. 6/10

A very derivative but likeable Christmas TV movie, centring on Pete, the less-loved, put-upon middle child of three boys born to affable middle-aged American parents. After he has a nothing-else-could-surely-go-wrong Christmas Day with his family, a meteor shower occurs and hey presto, the young man wakens up the next day only to find he has rewound in time to relive his whole wretched Christmas Day experience all over again. So, amongst other things, he gets no present, gets the blame for ruining the family Christmas dinner, gets pelted with snowballs by the local heavies, also clobbered by same at the inter-neighbourhood festive American football game and joint worst of all, blows his chance of romance with the pretty new girl who arrives next door and sees his dad and grinchy old grandad argue to the point where gramps walks out on the family before the end of the day. Same day by same day, like a junior Bill Murray, he rights every wrong, closing on the real biggie, reconciling his dad and grandad to break the loop at last. So it's pretty obviously a Christmas edition of "The Wonder Years" meets "Groundhog Day" the latter right down to young Pete using his repeat time to learn a musical instrument from scratch and find a way to his initially reluctant girl's heart, but it's all done so openly, inoffensively and amicably, plus it's only a Christmas T.V. show for pity's sake, your surname would have to be Scrooge for you not to be mildly entertained at the very least. The two young male and female leads give nice performances in their Kevin and Winnie-type roles and Bruce Dern is the most recognisable cast member as the hard hearted old grandfather. The only really objectionable thing for me about this otherwise pleasant Christmas movie was the wishy-washy original music trilling away in the background but for fans of the two sources mentioned, this is a nice little film to while away the time if you're stuck indoors at Christmas with nothing much to do.

I thought this was a different movie with the same premise, when I started watching it. I was pleasantly surprised to realize I had never seen this one before. I enjoyed this one very much. The acting was quite good. I like how they used the middle child as the ignored/overlooked one,and main character. That is a dynamic they do not use much. He discovers new facts about everyone as the movie continues and it is realistic and enjoyable. They did not play everyone in broad clichés. Also they moved quickly through the every day is the same part, thank goodness. They focused on what he was learning and doing to change things. The message was really about paying attention to your life and what is around you, and being thoughtful and aware of others. Being kind, thoughtful and living in the moment. It actually moved me to tears more than once. Bailee Madison as the neighbor was great, as she always is. I do not watch movies twice, but I will watch this again at Christmas. Well done again Hallmark! Thank goodness for the Hallmark Channel and all the uplifting movies they churn out, Especially the Christmas ones.
