[Missouri-l] Accessible World presents Friday Night at the Movies, December 4, 2009

[Nancy Lynn]

The Hallmark Movie channel is showing this also, but we have it described, 
and, I think, you do need it described.
News Wire:
This Month's Friday Night at the Movies feature is I'll Be Home for
Christmas. Released in 1998, it has aired on ABC a few times, before
and after it aired on the Starz/Encore premium channels. Disney
Channel originally aired it in 2002, but due to unresolved conflicts,
as of 2007, it hasn't shown on that station. But as requested,
beginning in December 2007, Disney Channel might have the chance to
air that film. In December 2007 the movie airs in syndication in the
United States.

Plot
A few days before Christmas Eve, his father offers to give him a
vintage 1957 Porsche if Jake Wilkinson (Jonathan Taylor Thomas) is
home in by 6:00 p.m. Christmas Eve (when the family has dinner) in New
York. Jake prepares to go; however, a group of bullies leave him in
the middle of the desert dressed as Santa Claus. The bullies do this
as punishment for not getting an exam cheat sheet from Jake, not
knowing that it was their leader Eddie Taffet (Adam LaVorgna) who
prevented it, to get Jake out of the way and claim Jake's girlfriend
Allie (Jessica Biel) for himself. While Jake is stuck in the
California desert, Eddie is giving Allie a ride to the Big Apple. Now,
Jake has only three days to make it to Larchmont, New York if he wants
the car and Allie.

He stumbles upon a few obstacles such as a thief who is driving
kitchen goods to his dealer near New York so Jake hitches a ride with
him, unbeknownst to him that the man is a thief. A police officer
pulls them over for speeding and becomes suspicious of them, so Jake
lies and says that the man is his elf and they donating the goods to
the children's hospital. The police officer offers for them to follow
him since he is heading in the same direction. At the hospital the
children remind Jake, the thief and the police officer about the
importance of family, and the thief decides to win back his girlfriend
who is headed in the opposite direction. The police officer buys Jake
a bus ticket to New York.

Meanwhile Allie and Eddie are heading for New York and decide to stay
at pretend village hotel and are caught kissing under a mistletoe on
camera by Jake, hesitant to speed the bus up he uses a cooler and a
week old meat sandwich saying that it is a liver which is for a little
girl at hospital, he finds the village and Allie and Eddie's room, he
sees Eddie walk out of the shower in a towel and assumes that he had
slept with Allie (he didn't, Allie made him sleep in a sleeping bag),
Jake and Allie eventually make up but Jake blurts out that Eddie
prevented him from getting his dad's car. Upset that Jake that had
come there to get the car and not herself (which he actually did), she
replaces his seat on the bus and leaves.

Jake and Eddie drive and Jake tells Eddie that he will go home and
win Allie back and get the car, jealous that Jake will get Allie Eddie
throws Jake out but is soon arrested. Jake decides to enter a Santa
Clause race to win the $1000 prize to buy a plane ticket to New York.
He meets a nice man who he beats and wins the prize. But on his way to
the airport he learns that the man is actually the Mayor who uses the
prize money to buy presents for the needy. Jake reluctantly gives the
money to the mayor and calls home. Jake's sister arranges for a plane
ticket for Jake but he is not granted the ticket since he has no
photograph identification. So he decides to stow away in a dog kennel
in a cargo plane.

When he reaches New York he apologies to Allie and receives his dad's
car and makes it home in time for dinner.
