Summary: 5 Stars
Jingle All the Way is the perfect holiday comedy for those of you who can't find the right Christmas toy for your children.Schwartzenegger plays Howard Langston,a workaholic father who's son,Jamie,is constantly dissapointed with his father's inabitlity to come home for Christmas,or make his karate classes.Howard sees his opportunity for redemption when Jamie tells him he wants a Turbo Man action figure,the hottest selling toy on the shelves.Howard sets out on a quest for the toy,shooting blanks at every toy store.It seems that Turbo Man is more popular than he thought as he teams up with another desperate father looking for a Turbo Man:loud-mouthed mailman Myron Larabee,who eventually pits himself against Howard to get a Turbo Man first.It's a fun-filled ride from start to finish as Howard ends up at the Christmas day parade as the one and only Turbo Man in one of Arnold Schwartzenegger's funniest moments on screen.Get this movie!Movie Review: Hits close to home
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is great if you have a zany sense of humor.
I think the reason that most people do not like it is that it hits too close to home. This movie is for people who can laugh at their problems, and some people don't feel that trying to find the toy of the year at Christmas is funny because of painful experience.
Of course, the point of the movie is that the father wants very badly to keep this promise to his son because he has let him down so many times before. At the end of the movie, guess what? Arnold BECOMES his son's hero! How cool is that? Who wouldn't want to be their kid's hero?
People whose parents let them down and people who let their kids down would not like this movie. Like I said, it hits too close home. Ouch!
Movie Review: Incredible
Summary: 5 Stars
Only in this masterpiece can you find Arnold Schwarzeneggar saying "I'm not a pervert! I just wanted the Turboman doll," "Put the cookie down! Now!" and "Rock-'em-sock-'em jet pack!" along with classic moments like Arnold busting into a radio station, kicking down the door and yelling like a madman to a frightened DJ.
Parents, this is a must buy. You may be able to relate to it, but you'll probably have more fun laughing at how ridiculous it gets (you're children will think you're laughing at the broad humor). The fact that a parade features a working Turboman suit complete with jet pack kills me just thinking about it.
Movie Review: "Put that cookie down!" - Ah Nuld
Summary: 5 Stars
This film ranks high among my favorite christmas films list along with such classics as "Home Alone" and "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation". The movie stars Arnold Schwarzenegger as Howard Langston, a father who has promised his son that he will get anything he wants for christmas. Unfortunately for Howard, his son wants an immensely popular "Turbo Man" action figure. Howard forgets to get it, and since it's Christmas Eve, it's sold out everywhere. Since Howard knows he has let his son down in the past, he goes on a quest to track down a "Turbo Man" action figure, and will stop at nothing to get his son the gift that he wants.
