THE SURE THING
The Sure Thing is an early Rob Reiner comedy and is chockful of young actors who would go on to greater things: Tim Robbins, Antony Edwards [who'd both be in Top Gun, thought whether or not that's a greater thing than most is up for debate], the slutty blonde woman from Desperate Housewives and John Cusack from his 80s teen idol phase. The Sure Thing is a road trip to California that takes place at Christmas and is a heartfelt hoot from start to finish. Best bit? Well, there are many: "driving with a load unsecured" is a favourite, but for festive feeling try John Cusack in a bar with some drunks singing The Christmas Song very, very badly. Altogether now: "Chestnuts roasting on an open fire, Jack Frost nipping at your toes..."

As Rikki Fulton said, that's what Christmas is all about – burnt nuts and frost-bite.
Merry Christmas.
Sure Thing was a classic...forgot it was an Xmas movie(sort of)
