À propos de ce film

Christmas; It's the most magical time of the year. High powered businessman Howard Langston (Arnold Schwarzenegger), is hard at work taking last-minute orders from customers to whom he just can't say no; like his son, Jamie (Jake Lloyd), asking for the hottest action figure of the season -- Turbo Man! Unfortunately, Howard is facing one BIG problem: It's Christmas Eve, and Turbo Man has been sold out since Thanksgiving! Howard's down-to-the-wire trek to find Turbo Man quickly turns into an odyssey wilder than he could have ever imagined. In the course of his seemingly endless Yuletide misadventures, he finds himself in a no-holds-barred fight-to-the-finish with a crazed postman named Myron (Sinbad), who is out to claim the last Turbo Man for his kid. It's enough to scare away even the bravest of men. But to Howard, this is war -- and he's determined to win...no matter what!

Notes et avis

I honestly think this movie is the worst for Christmas. Read my review before buying it. This movie isn't funny. Also Arnie himself acts stupid fighting through a store to buy a Turboman doll. If you are thinking of getting a comedy movie buy Elf. Jingle all the Way is a worse movie of all time. People even think about it, think about do you allow kids watching violence or are you offended easily? Think about it. It makes a kid named Jamie feel like his dad is never there for him.

Usually, the solution to a bad movie is simply to not watch it. It isn't like it's hurting anyone, right? Not in this case. This movie actually causes me physical pain if aired in my presence. It's not just faithfully bland, it's not simply forcefully banal, it will straight trope you upside the head until you never want to get caught in its neighborhood again while its actors spew more ham than the Underwood factory.

Depending on why you like comedies, this one is bad which makes it good. Arnold is not very convincing at being a typical suburban dad which cracks up my family. It's like watching a bull in a china store- he shouldn't be there but you can't help looking at him. The supporting cast is rather funny, especially Sinbad. You can't but quoting the lines in your best "Terminator" voice. If you don't take it too seriously, you will enjoy it.
