runs into mailman Myron (Sinbad), another father on the same quest. With the

Jingle All the Way


WHAT TO KNOW

Critics Consensus

Arnold Schwarzenegger tries his best, but Jingle All the Way suffers from an
uneven tone, shifting wildly from a would-be satire on materialism to an antic,
slapstick yuk-fest.

Chris Stuckmann ChrisStuckmann.com That rare family-themed Christmas movie that
isn't really aimed at kids. It's actually aimed at adults... It's a family
Christmas movie that's completely honest about what family Christmases tend to
be like! Rated: B+ •  Dec 21, 2020 Full Review Anne Billson Daily Telegraph (UK)
The film is very loud, and festooned with the sort of comic violence far more
disturbing than anything in an 18-rated movie. Nov 27, 2017 Full Review Owen
Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly Rated: C+ •  Sep 7, 2011 Full Review Mikel
Zorrilla Espinof Schwarzenegger's charisma helps somewhat. [Full review in
Spanish] Jan 3, 2022 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...the movie
benefits substantially from Schwarzenegger's go-for-broke turn as the
progressively frantic central character... Rated: 2.5/4 •  Dec 14, 2021 Full
Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy Watching Arnold Schwarzenegger take a stab at
light-hearted comedy is often like watching a whale try to maintain its balance
on a gymnastics beam. Rated: 1/4 •  Dec 29, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

Raymond R The people leaving negative reviews clearly have no Christmas spirit
or imagination. This movie wasn't meant to be perfect or realistic, it's a
Christmas movie! Having grown up with it, I adore this movie. Obviously it has
some faults, weird things and story wise is goofy af, but Christmas itself is a
goofy religious Holiday that ultimately means nothing. So I fail to see the
problem. Arnold is great, good humor, and at the end of the day it's about a dad
trying to do good by his son. I think the ultimate message of the movie makes up
for any small nitpicks. I will forever love this classic! Rated 5/5 Stars • 
Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/20/24 Full Review Christopher J ngl i actually love
this movie Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/05/24 Full Review Jeff M
I really wanted to like this movie and made every effort to do so. But when all
is said and done, I have to remain true and honest to myself. This is the
cinematic equivalent of getting burnt fast food after waiting in line for an
hour next to a really smelly and talkative guy named Zeke. This is a tortuous
experience, and its 90 minute run time felt longer than GONE WITH THE WIND. I
will admit, there was a very small glimmer of hope when I saw my comedy idol
Harvey Korman pop up at the beginning; however, he's gone after 12 seconds, and
I was left high and dry. Watching Arnold try to be funny is truly one of the
most excruciatingly uncomfortable things in movie history. And D-list stand-up
comic Sinbad matches him step for step in a truly unbearable performance. I
wanted to smack Jake Lloyd as Schwarzenegger's son within minutes of his first
appearance. The exaggerated physical comedy is not only unfunny but almost
offensive in its lack of tact. If you find stuff like this funny, more power to
you, but I just don't get it. I can't think of one inspired moment that made me
even crack the faintest of grins. Were it not for the atrocity to mankind that
is KIRK CAMERON'S SAVING CHRISTMAS, this could very well have been the worst
holiday movie ever made. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/10/24 Full
Review Genesis V THIS MOVIE IS GREAT ESPECIALLY FOR ARNOD FANS THE FIRST TIME I
WATCHED THIS MOVIE I LOVED IT I WATCHED IT PRETY MUCH EVERY DAY BUT AFTER I
WATCHED THIS MOVIE AND T2 I BECAME A BIGGER ARNOLD FAN. THE MOVIE IS AWSOME
PERFECT FOR THE HOLIDAYS DEFFINETLY A COMFORT MOVIE. IT MAY SEEN LIKE A BAD
MOVIE BUT IT REALLY ISIN'T YOU JUST HAVE TO WATCH IT YOU WILL WANT TO WATCH IT
OVER AND OVER THE MORE TIMES YOU WATCH IT THE "BAD" PARTS DON'T REALLY STICK OUT
ANYMORE. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/10/24 Full Review
