- I'll Be Home For Christmas is just Rude Humor: The Christmas Movie and stars a rat.
In this video we react to I'll Be Home For Christmas, a strange and rude Disney Christmas film, starring Jonathan Taylor Thomas (who doubles as a rat man or an obscure actor in an obscure Hallmark show), Jessica Biel and Eddie (who's not as racist or homophobic as we were led to believe). There's plenty of stepmother/stepson innuendos but there's even more characters puffing that fresh Christmas snow. There's nothing I'd rather want in my 1998 Christmas movies.
Please hit that subscribe button so that so that the Jonathan Taylor Thomas will stop giving us swirlies!

I'll Be Home for Christmas is a 1998 American Christmas family comedy film directed by Arlene Sanford. The plot follows a college student who must make it from his campus in Los Angeles, California to his family's home in Larchmont, New York in time for Christmas dinner in order to win his father's Porsche. It stars Jonathan Taylor Thomas, Jessica Biel, Adam LaVorgna, Sean O'Bryan and Gary Cole and was released on November 13, 1998.
Plot:
California boarding school student Jake Wilkinson has not been home to New York for any holidays following his mother's death and his father's remarriage. A few days before Christmas Eve, his father, learning that Jake has traded in his airline ticket to New York for two tickets to Cabo San Lucas, offers to give him his vintage 1957 Porsche 356 if he arrives to their home by 6:00 PM on Christmas Eve for Christmas dinner. Jake's girlfriend, Allie, agrees to ride with him.
Jake helps a trio of jocks cheat on their midterm exam, but Eddie Taffet, Jake's nemesis and rival for Allie's affections, sabotages the scheme. Eddie and the jocks leave Jake in the desert with a Santa Claus suit, hat, and beard glued to his body. While Jake is stuck in the desert with no way to contact Allie, she decides to ride to New York with Eddie.
Jake has only three days to get home. He stumbles upon Nolan, a thief who is driving stolen goods to his dealer. A police officer pulls them over for speeding, but Jake manages to convince the cop that they're donating the goods to the children's hospital. The cop offers to escort them to the hospital, forcing them to give away the goods.
Seeing the children inspires Nolan to turn around and head west to see his wife, and the police officer, Max, to try to reunite with his wife Marjorie. Max asks Jake to accompany him, reasoning that his wife will listen to Santa. Jake gets Marjorie to take Max back, and a grateful Max buys Jake a bus ticket to New York.
Meanwhile, Allie and Eddie grow closer. Allie convinces Eddie to stay the night at a novelty hotel in a Bavarian village, the Edelbruck. They are caught on TV underneath a sprig of mistletoe. Jake sees them kiss while he's waiting at the bus station in Nebraska and develops a scheme to convince the bus driver to drop him off at the Bavarian village. Allie explains the misunderstanding to Jake and they make up, until Jake mentions his deal with his father. Upset that Jake cares more about the car than her, Allie storms out and takes Jake's seat on the bus.
Jake hitches a ride with Eddie until a suddenly jealous Eddie decides to throw Jake out of his car somewhere in Wisconsin. Jake decides to enter a Santa Claus race for a chance to win the cash prize to buy an airline ticket. Eddie is arrested after insulting (and possibly doing more to) two police officers dressed as Christmas trees. While registering for the race, Jake meets a nice man named Jeff Wilson, whom he barely beats in the race. But en route to the airport, the taxi driver informs Jake that Jeff is actually the mayor of the town; he usually wins the race every year and uses the prize money to buy food for the impoverished. Jake feels bad and gives the money to the Mayor.
Jake talks to his sister, who arranges for an airline ticket for him from Madison, Wisconsin. A staff for his intended airline doesn't allow Jake board because he has no photographic identification, so he stows away in a dog kennel on a cargo aircraft with a large dog named Ringo. From the airport he hides on a train, tries to hitch a ride in a car, then steals a one-horse open sleigh from the local parade. When he reaches his street, he apologizes to Allie and they make up. Jake rides the sleigh home, arrives at 5:59 PM, and intentionally waits until 6:00 PM to go inside so he isn't in time to get the Porsche. When his father offers it to him anyway, he refuses. He also finally accepts his stepmother. The Wilkinsons and Allie get into the sleigh just as the parade arrives and join the procession.
