r96sk (Rated: 7)
Well intentioned Christmas film, just a little undercooked.
Jonathan Taylor Thomas is the lead of 'I’ll Be Home for Christmas' and he's pretty good, especially at playing the cocky school kid. I feel his arc is satisfactory, though it would've been nice if there was a longer spell of him...
