Critics are wrong!
Sometimes critics mistake.This is definitely an example.You see some movies don't need to be reviewed,you just need to watch them first,and then judge your feelings. So idea of the movie is great,and its pretty familiar to EVERY father on Christmas.And that's why people like to associate themselves with Arnie's character.There are a lot of misadventures(you wont remember every after ending i promise),but they actually work out pretty entertaining,sometimes even laughably funny (Santa's gang scene). Also contains good soundtrack,that includes Chuck Berry's "Run Rudolf,Run". i also like casting choice for Ted.I don't like this type of sleazy scumbags,thats why he is so realistically annoying.
Not much else to say,WATCH IT NOW.

Despite its problems, I thought it was funny
'Jingle All The Way' is a Christmas story about merchandising and family. A lot of people seemed to really hate this movie, but I did not think it was all that bad. Sure, some of the action and the story was not the best, but I thought it did provoke a lot of laughter. The scenes with Arnie at the warehouse filled with Santas and elves was funny, and it had a good ending with the father becoming the hero after all. It does represent the bad of the holiday season with all the merchandising and the over-emphasis on that one particular toy that kids must get for Christmas, and if they do not receive it, then they are outcasts. Despite its problems, I did find it a funny and worthwhile film.
Jingle All the Way is One of My Favorite Christmas Films
Yes, the critics got this one wrong. There are a couple of underlying themes in this movie that are still relevant nearly 30 years later. The blind consumerism around Christmastime is insane.
Jingle All the Way offers plenty of dumb fun that should make your casual moviegoer laugh. A comedy of errors drives the plot, and the pacing is perfect for general audiences. I like the running gag with the same cop.
Online shopping did away with forcing people to live through the horrible experience of shopping in crowded stores, but toy stores are still busy to some extent in 2024. Some of us still like buying Christmas gifts in person.
Millions of consumers can relate to Howard Langston (Arnold Schwarzenegger) and Myron Larabee (Sinbad) around the holidays.
Howard becoming Turbo Man at the end was perfect, and the Santa Claus warehouse fight was funny as well. Big Show from WWE plays the giant Santa Claus.
It's pretty much a documentary for your average American who waits until the last second to buy his son a Christmas present.

Great fun
Everything about this movie is great. It has a great cast (With a wonderfully sleazy Phil Hartman). A great script with loads of laughter.
It's obviously created as a spoof for the Christmas buying crazes that go on in the world, where everybody must have that one very special toy.
It has the look and feel of a children's movie - but I'm not sure it is, or was ever designed to be.
Don't expect a Schwarzie action movie. It's more a live-action cartoon.
Jingle all the way is a movie I've seen a couple of times now - and I'll watch it again and again. Good fun. 8/10.

"Nobody Likes you Booster"
This movie is so ridiculous, but so funny at the same time. I watch it every Christmas just to hear many of the Schwarzenegger phrases like: - Who told you you could eat my cookies? - Put the cookie down...NOW! - Nobody likes you Booster (maybe Sinbad's line) - I'm not a pervert... and the many times he says "Jamie", I hated that darn brat...what a spoiled kid Anakin was.
But this movie is funny how it shows that parents are crazy to get one toy for their spoiled little brat. Sinbad is hilarious, and I miss him in movies, and it has the good 'ol Phil Hartman.
Arnold faces an army of Santas, which is funny as well as his corny lines I watch this to hear. Although this isn't the best Christmas movie, it's still enjoyable.
