"Jingle all the way," Christmas flick already in stores
by Barney Basin
PVG Reviewer
The bats haven't even returned to their post Halloween
caves and already the studios are releasing their Christmas
choice collections.
"Jingle all the way" appears to be the front runner.
This time it's Arnold Schwarzenegger as the workaholic
father trying to keep his family together by buying his son
the most requested toy of the year. In his quest he is hindered
by a stressed-out mailman, played by Sinbad, a policeman
played by Robert Conrad and a Santa, who is no gentleman,
played by James Belushi. Naturally in a story like this there
is always "Murphy's law" to contend with, because every-
thing that can go wrong does.
Through all this he is able to finally fulfill his promise to
his son and redeem family values for Christmas.
One of the most enjoyable characterizations in this flick
is Phil Hartman as the single parent neighbor with eyes on
Arnold's screen wife, Rita Wilson. Almost from the begin-
ning you realize that his helpful concerned neighbor act is
just that, an act.
Except for the final action sequence, the film is all very
predictable, but then so is Christmas, except when your
trytrig to figure out what's in a fruitcake.
The scenes of adults fighting in the toy stores appeared a
little farfetched until you realized that is just what happened
in some places last year with the "Tickle-Me Elmo" doll.
Unfortunately, it doesn't say much about the true spirit of
Christmas.
Although not headed for Christmas classicdom this is a
fun harmless piece of film and good way to start off the
holiday viewing festival frenzy.
