mcancea From the director of mrs diughtfire we bring you thw greatest thing ever made mabye it's a instant classic if you dont like it you are way too critical this is a perfect example of a mad Christmas mall you search. It's awesome it's so funny. Sinbad killls it in this movie he is amazing and arlond is amazing. Jim bulushi is in this too as Santa that is a conman and a criminal that tries to get him to by the scam product of turble man doll. It's just a stupid little doll. It's great movie do so just watch it.
dougclement-06790 I will keep this short and sweet...This is probably the worst movie that I ever seen in five years....The plot from the start is asinine but demonstrates the consumerist zombie American culture perfectly. You're telling me that in one of the largest cities in the world, you cant find one G.D toy? PLEASE! Then you have Sinbad playing this guy who wants the toy too for his kid, who also apparently can't find it in the same city, so he makes it his mission to get if from Schwarzenegger's character's kid...That's scummy enough...But to top it all off, the cherry on the ice cream, is at the end of the movie the kid actually hands the toy to Sinbad in some tacked-on phony sentimentality....I wanted to kill the kid! The only thing that was positive in this movie is Phil Hartman. He made the movie tolerable, but it was an infuriating waste of good talent. I cannot believe this movie even got a 5....Goes to show you how much the American collective intelligence has dropped!
sol- Worried that another broken promise will make him lose his son's trust forever, a workaholic father spends the whole of December 24 trying to track down an action figure sold out across town in this Christmas comedy starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. The film has a reputation as one of the action star's weakest films and the plot is admittedly thin (essentially one joke stretched out for 90 minutes), however, the film has many genuinely funny moments along the way. Much of the humour comes from how ridiculous Arnie looks scurrying around town, even chasing a little girl through department store play equipment, as he becomes lost in the materialistic toy craze that plagues so many families every year. The film does not offer a deep critique on consumerism and toy marketing, but satirical ideas do linger throughout. The film also successfully derives much humour from Phil Hartman as a slimy, smooth-talking neighbour and Robert Conrad as a police officer who keeps running into Arnie (the funniest moment though has Arnie scaring a bunch of carolers in a burning house). Less successful is a running gag involving an over-the-top Sinbad as a mailman also after the coveted toy. The film also contains too many pratfalls for its own good. Funny all the way or not, the energy that all concerned place into the film is hard to deny, and the film works almost on sheer vibrancy alone.
adonis98-743-186503 Jingle All The Way is my favorite Christmas movie ever made cause of one little thing Arnold Schwarzenegger. This film is about a dad who tries to get a famous toy for his son for Christmas so Arnold goes on a trip to every store in order to find the Turbo Man action figure in order to win his son back and he has to fight angry and fake santa claus (also Big Show), police officers and Sinbad. I loved the things that he had to go threw in order to find Turbo Man and in the end he becomes a superhero himself and fights the main villain himself and he even saves his son. Also this movie has the greatest message of all time in the end his son doesn't need the toy since he can have the 'REAL' Turbo Man which is his dad. I loved this film and when i heard they were making a WWE Studios sequel i went furious but after i saw it it wasn't really that bad but you definitely don't need to see Jingle All The Way 2 just see this film alone because it's beautiful, action packed and hilarious. A great Christmas movie and a pretty underrated one.
