Everyone in the story seems kind of depressing.

But that is how this tale was designed to be different from this theme that our television channels are crowded with at this time. So I enjoyed watching it, in the end, I did not like it much as an overall film. A father, travelling around the North America in his RV had not seen his daughter for like a decade. But his surprise visit during the Christmas eve brings a mixed feeling to her. That's not the same with the rest of the town, who are very happy to see him again.

When he adopts a dog, it causes even more trouble in a relationship with his daughter.

But his granddaughter is very fond of him and together they do all the festival stuffs. The remaining is to cover how he's going to win his daughter back. Expecting too much from a television film is very foolish, but that should not be a reason, even when a film is really does not stand up to the mark.

The main plot was much better, and it was not fully exploited as it should have been. Especially, most of the parts were predictable and that's fine, but a couple of energetic and surprising events would have turned it around.

Still, I liked the actors, particularly the director in one of the main roles, and again in particular the little kid. She sounded like a very matured child actress, so I hope she makes big in the filmdom. Sorry to say, none others, including Mena Suvari looked like they are in the film. In some of the parts, the dog stole the show.

Jake's father offers to give him his Porsche if he is home by 6: He gets the car because, despite showing up late, he was just a few seconds late, and not a minute late. Jake is a college version of this, because in this movie, college bears a striking resemblance to high school, but with dorms.

Somehow, a teacher doesn't think twice when three students start using their pagers in the middle of a test. He tries to steal Jake's girlfriend and he openly admits that he can't help do anything good for anyone else because it'll damage his reputation. Still, he wouldn't be so bad if he wasn't so worried about it.

One of the Santas in the marathon looks like a professional runner and is physically fit in stark contrast to average build Jake and all the overweight Santas. He is called Kenyan Santa in the credits. Ian is last seen locked in the school lockers at night, just before winter break, meaning that there will be no one to find him until January when classes resume, by which point he will be long dead of starvation.

The Ed-Man, with the sinking realization that he has just called two police officers, in full Christmas costume, "jingle balls". Demanding to know the location of a guest and threatening the receptionist quickly gets Jake tossed out of the hotel. Featuring the rare combination of hitchhiking with Tom Jones fans, hitchhiking with a purveyor of stolen goods, hitchhiking with a police officer, taking a bus, hitchhiking with the sworn enemy, running a fun-run, flying in a cargo hold, grabbing the roof of a passing car and finishing in a one-horse open sleigh.

Allison's voicemail only seems to allow messages of no more than five seconds, far too short for any message actually explaining who called her and why. But if it lasted any longer, we wouldn't have Jake blurting "Desert Santa buzzard tumbleweed!
