Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

People are voting emotionally.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

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.

Workaholic Howard Langston (Arnold Schwartzeneger) is a busy man who hardly has some time for his family, after being very later for his son Jamie (Jake Lloyd)'s karate class he apologizes to his son for what he did and wants to make it up by getting him something special for Christmas. What the boy wants for Christas is a Turbo Man action figure yet what he doesn't know that its the hottest selling Christmas toy of the season and nearly impossible to find. He's now in the major city to find it as he has competition with a frenzied mailman father named Mairon (Sinbad) who wants the doll too.An underrated and fun holiday comedy i always enjoyed since i saw it in theaters as a teen and been one of my guilty pleasures. Chris Columbus who produces this movie came up with the idea for this movie based on the Cabbage Patch Kids craze of the 80s even holiday hot selling toy fads especially Power Rangers to him trying to get a Buzz Lightyear toy for his kid the previous year before this was filmed in April of 1996. Originally Joe Pesci was considered for the role of Marion but was deemed too short for the role, Sinbad was casted yet i think Joe Pesci would had been interesting and here Sinbad is likable unlike some other films he did. Originally before Arnold was considered for the role, Tim Allen was gonna play Howard Langstron which would had been interesting but i'm glad Arnold got the role. Even though Twins is his finest comedic role, this one is far better than Junior which was terrible. Phil Hartman co-starts as the neighbor Ted as he is likable as usual and one of his last major roles in a movie before he was murdered 2 years later and Rita Wilson is fantastic as Howard's wife Liz and Jake Lloyd whom is the little boy everyone hated in Star Wars Episode 1 is likable here. James Belushi whom co-starred with Arnold in 1988's Red Heat is reunited with him again as a sleazy mall santa who runs an illegal operation. The world premiere was held on November 16, 1996 at the Mall of America in Bloomington where parts of the film were shot. A day of events was held to celebrate the film's release and Arnold Schwarzenegger donated memorabilia from the film to the Mall's Planet Hollywood.It took five weeks in April of 96 and the largest production filmed in Minnepolis where the Holiday Wintertainment parade in the climax was filmed in Universal Studios Hollywood. Richard Moll even co- stars in a cameo as Dementor in this movie whom you know from House (1985), Bull from Nightcourt, Two-Face on Batman TAS etc. the project after development on a remake Planet of the Apes (1968), which had been a longtime pet project for the actor, fell apart. Sure some of the acting is OK and some situations are ridiculous as heck, but this is a fun movie i should say that is a satire on commercialism around the holidays plus has a good meaning in the end. It's a cute and enjoyable holiday comedy i always enjoyed since i was a teen seeing this in theaters.

I make a point of trying to watch every Schwarzenegger film in existence, a journey that has taken me from many highs to the occasional low (JUNIOR, for instance). It has to be said that the thought of JINGLE ALL THE WAY - a family comedy in which Schwarzenegger plays a father hunting for a rare toy for his kid on Christmas Eve - didn't exactly fill me with festive cheer, but the good news is that it's not too bad a film, although it's certainly a chore to sit through in places.The thing that keeps this film watchable is Schwarzenegger himself. Sure, his acting is often over the top and more than a little cheesy in places, but nonetheless he appears to be giving it his all here and he gives a very physical, slapstick-orientated performance that works nicely and imparts a lot of energy into the production. The supporting cast are less successful, although Sinbad is better than expected. It comes as little surprise that Jake Lloyd (infamous for his role in THE PHANTOM MENACE) is bad and as for Phil Hartman's disturbing character, the less said the better.The plot is very lightweight and the scenes which riff on MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS faintly embarrassing. The climax features some really bad CGI and model effects which look awful when considering than SPIDER-MAN was just around the corner. It goes to show how far superhero cinema progressed in just a few years. Still, some of the laughs are okay, and James Belushi is always a welcome presence, so it's not all bad.

I didn't find anything worth laughing in the movie!it was completely boring,they had stretched the story for an hour and 30 minutes,with most of the time Howard roaming around to buy the action figure!The essence of a Christmas movies was lost,they have tried to come up with comedy,but it turned out to be really a bore.They could have come up with much more heart touching material,rather than a chase for a dumb toy.The role of Myron(played by Sinbad) wasn't pleasing,there was lack of humanity,it was cheap in a way.There was way too much exposure of low budget jokes!In a way it all seemed kiddish and annoying to watch.Well its an old movie cant complain more,its 2016,hopefully there wont be another Christmas movie like this to ruin the holiday!!
