Notes Color by Technicolor; shot in Panavision. Film was put into production at the behest of Brandon Tartikoff, then the newly appointed head of Paramount Pictures. When the film did poorly both critically and at the box office, Tartikoff, who had formerly worked only in TV, was lambasted for having the wrong sensibility for film. Not too long after, he left Paramount.

Reviews Review created: 09/10/08 by: 3 of 3 people found this review helpful. All I Want for Christmas is an entertaining and enjoyable way to spend about 90 minutes during the Christmas season. The movie centers on a sister (Hallie) who asks Santa (wonderfully played by Leslie Nielsen) to reunite her parents (recently divorced) and her brother (Ethan) who devises a plot he hopes will work the magic. Anyone familiar with Christmas movies already knows how the story will end, but the road to the ending is worth seeing! Two things I found extra interesting in this movie are, first, Leslie Nielsen, although only shown in the movie for less than five minutes, is one of the best Santa's I've seen. His costume and the way he handles himself makes watching this movie worth it all by itself. Secondly, Ethan (the brother) has a whole lot of hair with a wave in the front. Yet he tumbles in the hall at school, plays in the snow and races full speed from his home to Macy's without ever disturbing a single strand of hair! Quite impressive!

We have been watching for this to come up to purchase. We had seen it several times before and love this kind of picture without all the violence,language,etc. It is a great family movie.

We were looking for different Christmas movies that weren't the typical reruns on TV. Review ID: 10000000002615757 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
