All I Want For Christmas (1991)

So did you know that if you do a Keyword search on Christmas in IMDb you get (wait for it) 3198 Titles (in fairness only 1096 of these are full movies) to choose from? Well since I didn't really make a watch list for this advent calender (in retrospect that could have been a great idea) I'm doing this cool thing called browsing. Doing this browsing time I learned that apparently there is something about Christmas in The Godfather (1972). Now I haven't seen The Godfather (yikes) so I don't know if it is true... i have heard about the horses head but never did i Imagine that there was alittle Holiday spirit to be found... Anyway Godfathers aside I fell on this movie All I Want For Christmas from 1991 it sounded good and a bit more in the spirit than The Godfathers ;)

All I Want For Christmas is about these 2 kids, Hallie and Ethan. Their parents split up and this is the first Christmas after the split. Now little Hallie wishes for the parents to get back together. So she starts of a plan well helped by her big brother. Not that he wants to. Anyway the scheme is on... but what is a great plan without complications. Besides things going wrong and Ethan being in love there's the thing with Tony, the moms date interest. 

okay so I'm a sucker for these sweet and funny flicks. The jokes is great, the kids are just so cute and their pranks hilarious. To tell the truth it took me about 5 minutes to realize I've seen this one before but it's so great I just let it play.. typing this in the meantime and looking at recipes (oh yeah I'm good at multitasking) still there was a lot of jokes I forgot or just didn't get the last time i saw it. So yeah this one is definitely on my favorite Christmas list ;)
