Storyline

While trying to avoid an obsessed girl, rocker Drake Parker meets a young girl, who makes him promise to give her family the best Christmas ever. Later, at the Premiere's first ever Christmas party, a group of teens start to make trouble. Concerned, Josh, Drake's stepbrother, calls the cops about a disturbance, but they are confused and think the entire party is the disturbance, and even arrest the kind Josh. Requiring Josh's help to keep his promise, Drake tries to break his brother out of prison, but is caught. At court, the judge decides that the two must give the girl and her foster family the best Christmas ever, or face years in jail. They face many problems along the way, including Officer Perry, a strict detective that hates Christmas; a colorful group of foster children; and a wild wood chipper. It is up to Drake and Josh to save Christmas for the good-hearted children, or face the consequences.

User Reviews

nice

i actually was surprised that i liked it that much. this was a very good movie, of course i am a big fan of drake bell, josh peck, Miranda Coscrove, and jerry trainer. the film was funny and just plain goofy. the film was by far one of the best Christmas movies that have come out in the last 5 years. it was fun to see the cast back together again. the film had its own spin on Christmas and the traditional Christmas songs, jingle bells and 12 days of Christmas. it was enjoyable family film. if you are a fan of drake and josh, you will love this film, same goes for if you are a fan of Christmas films. the film was totally kid appropriate. i think the film is definitely worth adding to your Christmas collection.
