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.
afortiorama The premise is silly: a busy dad forgets to buy the Christmas present for his son who wants an very specific action figure: the turbo man doll. This Dad is not the only one in town wanting the doll though and the movie follows two men trying to kill each other across town while chasing The Toy every kid wants for their children and getting progressively more manic and maniac about. It made me laugh in several scenes. It was good fun to watch even in 2017.
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!
NateWatchesCoolMovies Jingle All The Way is one of the most demented holiday comedies I've ever laid eyes on. It stars a yowling, hopped up Arnold Schwarzenegger as a neglectful dad stuck in a mad dash to get ahold of a special Toy for his son on Christmas Eve, plagued by all kinds of random, inane obstacles including trying to pronounce words so he doesn't sound like he's got a mouthful of eggnog in every scene. He's an odd choice to play the role, and it's almost as if Jim Carrey or Robin Williams called in sick for a month and he picked up the slack. It's stupid, it's clunky, it's beyond ridiculous.... and somehow works perfectly. Ahnuld's amps up his awkward, oblong charm and blunders around like an Austrian bull in a china shop, but sells the movie in his own unbelievable way. He's promised his kid (Anakin Skywalker) that he'll get a him a Turbo Man doll for Christmas, which just happens to be the hottest item of the season, causing quite an ordeal for him as the days goes on. He's hampered by a sleazy mall Santa (Jim Belushi), an angry reindeer, millions of rabid shoppers, his smarmy neighbour (the late Phil Hartman) and a mailman (cringeworthy Sinbad, whose picture you'll find next to both retarded and unfunny in the dictionary) who also seeks the elusive Turbo Man. The finale reaches sparing heights of unapologetic implausibility and just a hint of touching, father son bonding between the terminator and future darth vader. I dare not touch the sequel (starring Larry The stupid Cable Guy) with a ten foot North Pole. This one was a bundle of silly fun though.
