We like to watch a family DVD over Christmas but need to please everyone ( i.e. pre-teen,teenager, plus 70+ grandparents + me and DH...... )
Chick flicks out; old B&W out. Successful DVDs have included the Incredibles; Madagascar and Wallace & Grommit Werewolf. Any suggestions for this year please? Nothing too heavy and must suit 12 - 76 year olds plus difficult to please DH inbetween!!!

The Emperor's New Groove is very funny and a good family favourite here.
Groundhog Day is my favourite Christmas film.
Freaky Friday maybe?

It may be a bit old now but National Lampoons Christmas Vacation is hilarious.

The Santa Clause - 1,2,or 3 - we love them all 
RV - (Robin Williams cancels family exp vacation and instead takes them in an RV across the US to get to a secret board meeting - hilarious, lovely feel-good ending)
Night at the Museum 1 or 2 - thats what we'll be watching

thanks all. Has to be a film we'd all like and too complicated to write the criteria down. "Up" most likely out of suggested so far, other suggestions great just not right for the difficult lovely people I am entertaining. Please keep ideas coming

Bad Santa, National Lampoons Christmas Vacation and Love Actually are some of my Christmas faves. But the best one EVER is....ELF! Hilarious and heart-warming at the same time.

Monsters Inc is EXACTLY the sort of film we're looking for - except we've all seen that several times and looking for something new. Bought National Lampoons Xmas vacation, my nephews were shocked by the bad language, which means my Mum would hate it too.
