Thomas has a natural screen presence and he never sheds the instinctual wit that made him a household name.

It's all by-the-numbers stuff!

Director Sanford struggles in vain to put a shiny new wrapper on this secondhand offering.

The Disney family flick is all sight gags and button-pushing to holiday tunes.

Silly, light and ever so slightly hip, Christmas movie's a delight!

I'll Be Home for Christmas asks the impossible of us.

Nothing that occurred in it was earthshaking or shocking or particularly inventive, but it was well-done, all the same, and I really did like it.

It's mixture of smiles and sentiment is good enough for the film to qualify as a mildly pleasant diversion, but lacks that special magic necessary for it to rise above average.

Family fare. Pure, sweet, and PG-rated.

The results are only slightly better than coal in your stocking.

The ultimate insult to a film-goer!

Top CriticNext to this, 'Santa Claus Conquers the Martians' looks like a work of depth and brilliance.

If not for the movie's heart being in the right place, this lame teen road picture might be truly insufferable.

Hurrah -- let's teach our kids that if you look good and are skilled at making up convincing lies, everyone will love you.
