She wants nothing more than the reuniting of her recently divorced parents. Bordering on being a Miracle on 34th Street re-make, this film follows much the same theme, but the kids here get more involved as they thwart any likelihood of romantic success between their mom and her new boyfriend and try ever-so-hard to make Mommy and Daddy love each other again. A reunion does result, but it's a lackluster one and so's this film, which was generally seen as a little too contrived and way too bland. ~ Rovi

Critic Reviews

Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
This 1991 feature is not for diabetics or connoisseurs of real people, but everyone else should have a ball.

, Time Out
What makes the film so nauseating is not that it's badly acted or made, but that its motives are presented with such sledgehammer subtlety that even the youngest children would feel insulted by it.

Rita Kempley, Washington Post
When it comes to yuletide cheer, All I Want for Christmas ranks just under dead reindeer on the roof.
-
Desson Thomson, Washington Post
Miracle on 34th Street this ain't.
-
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
All I want for Christmas is to never see All I Want for Christmas again.
