All I Want for Christmas (1991)

This 1991 comedy stars Harley Jane Zozak, Jamey Sheridan, Ethan Embry, Thora Birch, Lauren Bacall, Kevin Nealon and Leslie Nielsen. This tells about 2 siblings, Ethan (Embry) and Hallie (Birch) who try getting their divorced parents, Mike (Sheridan) and Catherine (Kozak) back together for Christmas. Nealon plays Catherine's obnoxious fiancée, Tony and the late, Nielsen (The Naked Gun) plays Santa Claus whom Hallie tells her wish to and Bacall (Misery) plays Catherine's mom, Lillian. This is a pretty good flick with a decent cast I recommend.

I think this is a great movie. Perfect for families to watch on christmas eve together. Ethan Embry(credited as Ethan Randall) gave a stunning performance for a 12-13 year old, in only his second starring role. Flawless New York accent. Thora Birch was of course perfect for the role of Hallie, and seeing Leslie Nielson as Santa was cool. Kevin Nealon deserves some credit for his role, that man always amuses me.Although the movie is quite typical for a family christmas film, I like it better than most.8.5/10 stars.

This film carried me through my parents separation when i was Twelve years old. I was left in a total state of shock which imprisoned me in my bedroom for several weeks with the only comfort being the television, VCR and a copy of all i want for christmas.I can't honestly say what it is I like about this film, it could be one thing or a million things.....it is completely mesmorising. From the bad acting to the in-film songs......this film is a classic.Having seen the film now around 200 times I know the complete script off by heart and can pre-empt every forthcoming scene with childish glee.Opening scene"From the top" "God bless thee......"I am not mental
