Movie Reviews of Jingle All the Way
Movie Review: Awsome movie,and it's finnally on blu-ray!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved this movie ever since it came out in theaters.I'm glad they got the rights to the movie worked out for it was tied up in court a few years ago for the right ownership.I am happy to see that it is finnally on blu-ray,however,i want to point out one thing.According to the description,the blu-ray is suppose to come with 2 discs,mine only came with one!I don't know if its some kind of error between the dvd version,and the blu-ray version but i just hope that there is not 2 different blu-ray versions.I have looked on a few different websites and found only one version of this blu-ray but they all claim to list the same listing of 2 blu-ray disc set,but in reality there is only 1.I can't imagine a blu-ray disc coming with 2 discs since a blu-ray holds alot more data then a standard dvd.Whatever the case may be,its great to see this movie on blu-ray.Its a great movie to watch in hd quality.
Summary of Jingle All the Way
Arnold Schwarzenegger stars in this hilarious comedy as a father desperate to buy that must-have present during a frantic Christmas Eve shopping spree. Howard Langston (Schwarzenegger) has promised his young son a Turbo Man action figure for Christmas, unaware it's the season's hottest-selling toy. And so begins a frenzied quest that pits Howard against a stressed-out mailman (Sinbad), a sleazy Santa impersonator (James Belushi) and every other harried parent in town, in "the best holiday family film in years." (Don Stotter, Entertainment Time-out)It's Christmas Eve, and Arnold needs to find a Turbo Man action figure, the craze of the season. Only they're sold-out, of course. So the race is on, and Arnold does fierce battle with other shoppers and merchants alike, all for the prize toy with which to purchase his son's affections. His chief rival and nemesis is Sinbad, a mailman who's always going--you guessed it--postal. (Must have looked good on paper.) All of which is unwittingly very sad, on the content level. But the film supposes itself to be amiable enough, on its own shabby terms, even when it climbs out of the screen and starts gnawing at your furniture. If the humor were to get broader it would make HDTV obsolete. The tone can only be termed good-naturedly mean-spirited. Goofy carnival music runs continuously in the background so we never forget that what we're seeing is, er, um, funny. All the action is composed of comic violence, like an unhip Warner Bros. cartoon. Do the filmmakers actually consider this cynical foray to be indicative of the Christmas spirit? Apparently so, because the resolution has Arnold winning quite inadvertently, and offers no clear alternative to the competitive commercialism that drives the film's attempts at humor. In a key scene that's meant to be touching, Arnold and Sinbad sit down for a heart-to-heart in which we learn that receiving much-wanted Christmas presents in our formative years is responsible for our success in adulthood. You get that Turbo Man, you'll be a billionaire; don't get it, you'll be a loser. Such is the formidable challenge of parenthood, to cater to the child's whims while it can still make a difference. This is what's wrong with this country. --Jim Gay
