Hits close to home

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!

Arnold's funniest movie!!!

Arnold can do comedy if given the right material, & here he is given just that, as a father & husband who is obsessed with his job that he misses his son's karate class, after promising to be there, to make up for his absense, he promises his son anything he wants for Christmas, which happens to be a Turbo Man action figure, which is the year's hottest selling toy, while waiting in line at a retail store on Christmas Eve, he crosses paths with Simbad as an unstable postman whose also on the hunt, as they push & shove each other & try desperately to one up the other in their quest for the sold out Turbo Man, anyone who has children will see the reality here, I work in retail, & this movie shows the dark side to Christmas shopping not seen in other films, I have witnessed parents acting just like Arnold & Simbad in this movie & this movie is a fuuny take on parents acting like idiots to please their children, especially Arnold who keeps running afoul a police officer(Robert Conrad) at every turn, at the worst possible time or the shopping mall where Arnold & Simbad do battle over a ball that a department store offers for a limited stock of Turbo Man figures along with other frantic parents pushing & shoving their way for the magic balls that the employees throw in the air, to Arnold running into a bogus Santa( Jim Belushi) who is a con man that offers Arnold a Turbo Man in a undisclosed location where Belushi & others have a black market operation that has Arnold fighting Giant & Midget Santas when he calls Belushi a crook, to the place being raided to Arnold & Simbad once again doing battle, everthing that can go wrong does here for Arnold, in addition to that, he has a neighbor(the late Phil Hartman) making moves on his wife & showing him up at every turn, especially by bragging that he already got his son a Turbo Man, this is the funniest Chritmas movie since Chevy Chase's "Christmas Vacation" & ranks second in my view next Chase's film, both movies show the pains and joys of Christmas & do not candy coat it in any way shape or form like other Christmas movies do, the ending may be a little bit out there, but overall a very funny movie with everyone playing their roles to perfection, If you don't have kids or don't work in retail, you just won't get it!!!

This is a Story of Retail Nightmares...

Working nearly 23 Christmas seasons I can still reflect on those dag-burn Cabbage Patch Dolls. It was a nightmare. From that year on toy makers had to come up with "The Christmas Toy." A toy to end all toys. A blockbuster! This movie celebrates such nonsense of the season and it does it with glee. Its being touted as a family film, but look deeper. Its a dark comedy about lies, greed, and broken promises. This film works on two levels. Sinbad's best performance is in this film. He is suprisingly more menacing than the governator himself, Ah-nuld. I really enjoyed this movie, and I won't watch it every Christmas like "Elf," or "Christmas Vacation," it still will make my holiday rounds every 2 or 3 years. Make sure you brush your teeth though after the ending. It is a little overly sweet.
