Reviews

this movie was made for guys, mainly teen boys.

i enjoy goofy movies, and although beerfest was goofy, i found it rather boring.

the accents were awful and the acting left much to be desired.

cloris leachman as the grandmother 'whore' did good job. the funniest scenes in movie were with leachman and monique slamming a guys nuts, lol from the parkers TV show.

the trick quarters games were funny with the guys. the 2 brothers were boring, but the brainiak and Indian dude were funny.

beerest is worth a watch, but if you have a choice of comedies you might want to pick another.

This movie was worth a watch, but nothing to brag about.

They tried to make Van Damme into something he's not, a good actor.

Yes it has action, but the scenes of Van Damme trying to be sexy or caring just weren't believable.

The Asian bad guys were really bad, bad to the point of nuts. Killing just to kill in a populated city, and no fear of being caught is just ludicrus.

No real thought put into this movie.

Typical explosions with no cops, yea sure.

Typical B low budget movie.

It's worth a watch though, just be prepared to be bored with van dammes try at emotions.

A Great Movie! Yes i'm writing this 10 years after it was released, but i was compelled to give my opinion.

This movie centers around 1940's death row, and has many interesting characters that center around a head officer and a huge black prisoner. The meek giant has the power to see into people lives and heal the sick.

Now throw in a slew of top notch actors and you have yourself a great cast, well written story, and will keep your interest throughout.

I liked that this movie didn't really show the racism side of life.

It's a long movie, 3 hours with commercials, but it's worth watching.

A+ all the way

A+ to everyone involved in this Christmas movie.

This is a perfect example of how a family holiday movie should be made. It had every angle covered to keep your interested with a ending that makes you happy and tear.

This movie is about 2 families who each lost a mom/dad who come together in marriage and each side "kids" wanting their own tradition Christmas. Not giving in and sticking by their own "selfish" desires causes tension within the family.

I really liked John Ratzenberger in this movie as the logical calm grandpa. His chemistry between the kids and parents was only over shadowed by his sincerity to Dixie Carter, the mother in law. Ratzenberger is a very good drama actor, a far cry from Cliff on cheers. John, can I have your autograph? hehe

The storyline between the mom and dad's tension was well written, and even better was how everyone intermingled with their own sub-plots. In the end, the entire story was wrapped up perfectly.

SPOILER -- *** When Dixie carter goes home and Ratzenberger goes to get her, WOW, that was so well written i would give a award to John for that alone. The tears rolled from my eyes from there, and my heart made me think of my family until the final climactic ending with grandma walking in living room.

The only thing I would have changed a bit was the ending and families reaction when Dixie walked in. Don't get me wrong, it was good, but they could have did something a little better, maybe a bow around Dixie, lol.... They should have put a dramatic momentary pause in the kids faces when they saw grandma, maybe tears in their eyes before they ran to her.

To me, this movie was Christmas perfection.

It's a MUST SEE for anyone who loves family movies. A+++

MERRY Christmas 2008

This movie was awful.

When a Asian guy with a bit part playing a retired cop and has only about 10 minutes of air time is the most interesting character, run for the remote and switch channels.

Its the story of a woman hired to bring a girl from Asia back to Hawaii as her parents battle over custody. The fathers a bigwig in business with guys after him to get his money. The mother is a woman who was screwed over by her husbands power. Sounds interesting right? well, everything i just said takes up only about 10 minutes when pieced together.

The plot would have been good if they picked better actors and defined the storyline better. Both main characters, to me, seemed annoying.

The woman carrier wasn't feminine at all most of the film, and even after the makeup attempt by the young girl, her boyish mannuerisms outweight her beauty. Why her ex-husband still loved her i have no idea. I saw no chemistry between any of the characters.

The Asian girl, from TV show zack & cody i think, was just a brat. This girl is the reason people don't have kids, lol. She wasn't funny nor remotely interesting to me.

The story of bad guys after them could have made for fun adventures to make this movie more interesting, but that was left alone after 2 meek attempts at kidnapping.

The bad guys were explained in the end, but it left the viewers hanging with no finale to that plot.

This is a total chick flick.

I give it a 5, and would recommend it only if nothing else was on TV. If you see something else on that peeks your interest in any way, choose that over this made for TV movie.

Stink-A-Roo

Absolutely awful movie. Just watched last night.

Story about santa losing his memory and he meets a few people as his wife tries to get him to remember. Would be a good plot if the story was written better.

The acting was terrible, and Thomas Cavanagh was literally annoying acting like a hyped up nutjob as santa claus.

There was no chemistry between him and wife Ashly Williams, and the only thing going for her in this film is shes HOT!, lol... Hi ashley, i liked you in good morning Miami, can i have a autograph? The little boy in the movie, Alexander conti was nothing more that a annoying kid through the film. Patrick Fabian, the bad guy, was just a blah boring character.

Hal Williams, by far the best actor in the movie did a good job as the old man who believes. I like this guy, he's a good actor.

Sure the movies supposed to be fantasy, but it was just way too much dumb scenario's and poor writing and cavanagh as santa was just to nutty.

My advice, if you have a choice of holiday movies, pick something else.

2 THUMBS DOWN --- STINK-A-ROOOOOO !!

2 THUMBS UP for a TV movie !! I just watched will you merry me last night on Lifetime, or was it Hallmark? lol.. its one of those chick channels.

I found it amusing, humorous, and well written. It's a must see for anyone who likes holiday movies.

I liked it because it wasn't real sappy like many chick flicks. This film moved at a good pace, kept your interest and was funny.

Wendy Malik did a good job as a uppity mom blending into a family she really didn't want any part of. Her transition from tolerance to heartwarming acceptance as a family with a climatic gift she receives is truly well written and acted. Watch wendy's hubby's reaction when this happens.

Sure it went overboard a little with the Christmas mom, but was still fun to watch christians meet the jews, haha.

Can anyone say fiddler on the roof? PRICELESS! Well written to accommodate ever situation, even a death! I won't spill the beans but this death tied into the buildup was funny.

Bravo to Patrick McKenna who did a excellent job at mr Christmas dad. He did a great job at acting neutral in any given situation. I wish i had half his patience and go with the flow attitude.

I would recommend will you merry me to any woman who enjoys Christmas movies, and for the guys, same thing.

p.s. i loved the gnome, shame on her, lol MERRY Christmas EVERYONE 2008, HO HO HO !!

This was a fairly long movie, with a great cast, and worth a watch if you enjoy westerns.

It's your typical revenge movie, bad guys kill a mom and dad, son seeks revenge by hunting down and killing.

McQueen is supposed to be a halfbreed white/Indian, and many in the film call him a young kid. McQueen was 33 when he filmed this, hardly a kid, hehe. He looked older than 33 to me.

The storyline was OK, and there were a few memorable scenes, 1 being McQueen using a fake name as Karl Malden tries to trick him into falling for his real name, especially by throwing his murdered fathers tobacco bag to McQueen SPOILER -- I disagree with many here on the ending. McQueen kills the first few guys who killed his folks basically by confronting and attacking.

When he chases and shoots karl malden, 1st in hand, then in knee cap, then in other leg, he stops from killing him in cold blood. Others here think Mcqueen learned his lesson about revenge, but to me, i looked at it as more of a sadistic shooting, leaving a guy to die on his own alone slowly is pretty cruel. Sure it was written differently, but thats my thoughts I think they could have cut a good 30 minutes off this film to keep my interest, because they dragged out situations and that bored me good cast, typical plot, worth a watch
