In this family-friendly holiday film, all Ethan and Hallie want for Christmas is for their parents to get back together. Catherine (Parenthood's Harley Jane Kozak) and Michael (Chicago Hope's Jamey Sheridan) have been divorced for a year and now Catherine's dating a guy no one can stand, including her mother Lillian (Lauren Bacall). Michael, meanwhile, has opened a successful diner, but he misses Catherine. When Hallie (Thora Birch, years before American Beauty) overhears Catherine tell Lillian she and Tony (Kevin Nealon) are planning to marry, she and Ethan (Sweet Home Alabama's Ethan Embry) come up with a plan to strand their parents alone together on Christmas Eve. Hallie even asks Santa (Leslie Nielsen) to help them out. All I Want for Christmas doesn't pack any surprises, but it's suitable for all ages and features lively cameos from Andrea Martin as Lillian's housekeeper and Renée Taylor as Catherine's rodent-fearing wedding planner. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Format:VHS Tape
This has to be one of my childhood memories of Christmas, when this film would come on the television, and I would sink happily into a reverie of families and Christmastime. A must-see for anyone who is not afraid of heart warmers, and beware of the incredibly cheesy but very touching ending.

Lauren Bacall's character as the Grandmother is a joy. She is the lynchpin holding the family together, she is puzzled by her estranged daughter's choice of 'new man' and as events unfold, her concerns are borne out. A young Thora Birch as the precocious child on a mission for Santa to get her estranged parents back together also gives an excellent performance. Her teenage brother's Christmas relationship neatly completes the love stories on various levels.

Feel good Christmas film for the young (& a few Mums as well)
This is a typically late 1980's/early 90's film with all the feel good factor of that era. Yes, ok we know it's silly, gushy Christmas stuff, but hey, that's just what I want to... Read more

Great Christmas spirit
Yes, it is cheesy, but it is also very funny and a perfect film for a family Christmas. The little girl is particularly hilarious and the antics are perfect.
