I'll Be Home for Christmas

Release: November 13, 1998

l Be Home for Christmas is a 1998 Christmas family comedy film directed by Arlene Sanford. It stars Jonathan Taylor Thomas, Jessica Biel, Adam LaVorgna and Gary Cole. Jake Wilkinson is an 18-year-old boy attending Palisades Academy in California. For the past few years, he has not been home to Larchmont, New York for Christmas since his mother died and his father remarried. A few days before Christmas Eve, his father offers to give him his vintage 1957 Porsche if he is home by 6:00 p.m. Christmas Eve for Christmas dinner. Initially, Jake had traded in his airline ticket to New York for two tickets to Cabo San Lucas to take his girlfriend Allie, who is also from New York. She considers the act selfish as Jake knows Allie always returns home for Christmas. Jake reconsiders and trades the tickets back in for New York, and she forgives him. Now it's just a matter of getting home, and maybe learning a thing or two about Christmas along the way.

Allie: "[Reluctantly agreeing to go home with Eddie] First: The ground rules - If you say too many stupid things: I'll have to slug you. If you say anything nasty about Jake: I'll have to slug you. If you try to feel me up: I'll have to slug you. If you make me listen to any sexist, racist, or homophobic jokes: I'm gonna have to slug you. ⋯and finally: I might just have to slug you from time to time, simply because I find the prospect of driving across the country with you incredibly stressful!"

Eddie: "All right; Sounds like a party to me."

Quote O' Matic

Kelly: "Dad, take a look at me. What do you think? (She's wearing a red dress, tight black high heels and a LOT of makeup)"

Al: "What do you mean "What do I think?""

Kelly: "You know. Tell me what you think of my outfit. Don't worry. You can say ANYTHING. I can take it."

Al: "Ok. Well, I think you look like....MARY POPPINS!"

Audience: "(Laughter. Especially with Kelly's expression)"

Kelly: "MARY POPPINS?! MARY POPPINS?! I come out here dressed like a Hollywood Superstar, and you think I look like MARY POPPINS?!"

Peg: "Kelly, what's the matter, honey?"

Kelly: "Dad says I look like MARY POPPINS!"

Peg: "No, you don't."

Kelly: "Ok. Then, What do YOU think?"

Peg: "The dress looks great on you. But, I DO think you went a little "overboard" with the makeup, though."

(NO DIALOGUE. JUST ACTION): "(Kelly sighs, screams and runs out the door) (She is still screaming)"

Al: "Nice going, Peg."

Peg: "ME? YOU were the one who called her "MARY POPPINS!""

(NO DIALOGUE, JUST ACTION): "(They sit quietly, hoping Kelly will come back)"
