I am not a person that laughs easily and lately I have been going through some medical problems that have me more like Scrooge than Scrooge himself. I did not have any expectations when I sat down to watch the movie but while watching the movie, I actually laughed so hard, my eyes watered. I forgot about my aches and pains. I liked the movie so much, I have it saved to watch again, something that I never do. Was it a silly movie, probably, but it was just what I needed to see. I thought that the whole cast was pretty funny and once the movie started it never missed a beat and there was hardly a break in my laughing. I do not know if It will be as funny the second time around, but I am going to give it a try. I say Kudos to the cast and crew! Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but to those that did not like the movie, Bah! Humbug!

This is both a review of the movie and a review of the reviewers here. First, and most importantly, the movie. One Christmas Eve is a fun, funny, charming, warm hearted movie about a group of diverse people who form a family on a crazy Planes, Trains and Automobiles Christmas Eve where everything that can go wrong, does. The moral of the story defines the spirit of the holiday and those who don't understand that, must not understand the Christmas Spirit itself. And that brings me to my next point. The bizarre, angry reviews I see on here aren't just common trolls, but seem to have some other agenda going on. Is it a Hate Anne Heche Club? Is it the multicultural cast and these Hallmark viewers want all their Christmases to be white, white, white? But what is clear to anyone who might watch this movie, and it is most definitely a movie worth seeing - and a movie impossible to get angry at. The sort of anger being posted here is more what one might find at a political rally as opposed to discussing an innocent, hilarious, good hearted TV show. The movie, I give a 10 out of 10. These crackpots on display here, I give a big fat zero if that was an option.

I love this tender Christmas madcap crazy movie. It has heart, soul, compassion and it is cast beautifully with a diverse ensemble of talented actors. It's 2014 and it's about time we start watching movies that accurately represents the U.S.A. Kudos for the great casting! Carlos Gomez is perfect as the widower and father of a daughter stationed in Afghanistan. Loved it all! And, as a bona-fide dog lover, well, it's a home run! Hallmark Channel movies are great but I hope to see more stories with diverse cast. Anne Heche is also great as the frazzled mom who probably wishes she could have a do-over and start the day all over again. Ever have one of those days where everything goes wrong from the moment you wake up? One Christmas Eve is one of those days. You'll laugh, smile, and rejoice in turning it all around... if only it could be.

this is the worst Christmas movie of all time. the actors were not believable. the poor dog wasn't fed or attended to during the entire movie. the group left a huge mess in the employee lounge at the police station. the mother was the most incompetent individual in the history of movies. there was no connection between the cast members. the dialog was lame. the situations didn't flow. the pending lawsuits inevitable after the glow wears off hangs over everyone's head. I cannot believe I wasted 2 hours of my holiday time with this drivel. I kept waiting for the plot to pick up someplace. WRONG! Even the kids weren't likable. A mother really thinks the screeching her daughter is doing will improve? and the boy has no personality. Please don't waste valuable family time with this movie. need I say more?
