Movie synopsis
Alfred De Villa (WASHINGTON HEIGHTS, YELLOW) directs this tale of a Puerto Rican family gathering at their family home in Chicago's Humboldt Park for the holidays. On the surface, the Rodriguez family has much to be thankful for this Christmas. Eldest son Mauricio (John Leguizamo) is a lawyer on the verge of making partner and his wife is a Wall Street dynamo (Debra Messing), daughter Roxanna (Vanessa Ferlito) is a movie star, and youngest son Jesse (Freddy Rodriguez) has just returned home from a tour in Iraq. For the first time in years, the three siblings will all be home for the holidays, and their parents, Anna (Elizabeth Peña) and Eduardo (Alfred Molina), are elated. Except that Mauricio's wife isn't Puerto Rican, and despite her mother-in-law's constant pleas, she's in no rush to have a baby. Meanwhile, Roxanna is more of a struggling actress then a star, and Jesse is having a hard time adjusting to regular life and facing Marissa (Melonie Diaz), the "one that got away" when he enlisted. To make matters worse, their mother suspects their father of cheating and has decided that she wants a divorce.Overall, this is a film about a family coming together for Christmas, but learning much more about each other and themselves. More of a dramedy then a comedy, most of the laughs belong to Luis Guzmán as cousin Johnny. Jay Hernandez also appears as Ozzy, a close family friend who works at Eduardo's bodega and is struggling with his own demons. Leguizamo, Ferlito, and Rodriguez are believable as siblings who love each other even when they can't stand each other. Peña and Molina are well-cast as the matriarch and patriarch who ultimately put family first despite their differences., John Leguizamo and Freddy Rodriguez star in this moving comedy about a holiday gathering that reunites a family in Chicago. NOTHING LIKE THE HOLIDAYS is directed by Alfredo de Villa (WASHINGTON HEIGHTS), and it also features Debra Messing, Alfred Molina, Jay Hernandez, Melonie Diaz, and Luis Guzman.

Editorial reviews

"NOTHING LIKE THE HOLIDAYS is this year's warm and fuzzy Christmas movie....The film offers some funny and heartwarming moments..."us
USA Today - Claudia Puig (12/12/2008)

"[A]n efficient home-for-Christmas ensemble comedy....The most engaging moments of NOTHING LIKE THE HOLIDAYS are the festive party sequences..."
New York Times - Stephen Holden (12/12/2008)

"The performers breathe real life into the characters....The dialogue, the specifics, and especially the acting take charge, and the movie becomes funny, sad, corny, romantic, heartfelt, all when it needs to be."
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert (12/12/2008)

"[A] broad, warm, aspirational 'tis-the-season concoction about a raucous family -- mom, dad, three grown kids, assorted significant others -- reunited at Christmas."
Entertainment Weekly - Lisa Schwarzbaum (12/19/2008)

"NOTHING LIKE THE HOLDAYS mixes family melodrama with the good cheer of the season, all with a distinct Latin flavor....The atmosphere is easygoing and the actors seem relaxed..."
Hollywood Reporter - Kirk Honeycutt (12/04/2008)

Nothing Like the Holidays 2009

This is one of the best little known Christmas movies to come around in years. Especially if your Boricua this movie will make you think it was secretly filmed at your holiday table. Everything from the pernil to the coquito will flood your mind with Christmas memories. The main story is of a father secretly dealing with a serious illness. While his youngest son battles with the nightmare he must come to grips with while in Iroc. Blend in a few more twists and turns and you have a typical family holiday with a Boricua twist! I give this movie a big thumbs up!!!HUEPA!!

Great family movie!

Yes, I would recommend this product to a friend.

Recently, I watched this movie on my local cable station. I became quite engrossed in the movie when I was suddenly interrupted by a family member and missed the ending. I was frantic and it drove me crazy not knowing how it ended, so I got in my car and drove all over the city and to my local video stores, Targets, Walmarts, Best Buys and even Barnes & Nobles. No one stocked the movie!!! I was hysterical! I wanted that movie NOW & was willing to pay anything for it. LOL. Well, disappointed, I drove back home and remembered a couple of old sayings, "Stick with what you know" and "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." So, what did I do? I immediately went to my laptop and summoned "old faithful" eBay of course! Sure, I would have to resign myself to wait, but the movie and the ending was well worth it. Great and touching family movie. Love John Leguizamo.

Nothing Like The Holidays

This was a great movie. Typical Puerto Rican drama that ends well. Good old and new actors. John Leguizamo is funny as usual.

Moviw full of life

I just love this movie. It is so much how just Puerto Ricans are and our ways for christmas. How we love to celebrate life, how loud the house gets whenever everyone is home. Took me back when my parents and 1 brother were all alive, how much fun we all got together even with all the ups and downs.
