This 90's kid guilty pleasure has become a nostalgic Christmas classic. From the infamous "PUT THAT COOKIE DOWN!" and "I'm not a pervert!" to Arnold literally punching out a reindeer, this is one of Schwarzenegger's cheesiest, most over-the-top, attempted comedic performances ever, and it's wonderful. Toss in the fantastic Phil Hartman and ridiculous Sinbad, then add a heap of commercial Christmas cynicism and cartoonish violence, and it makes for oddly delightful fruit cake of a holiday film.

Likably silly vehicle for Schwarzenegger seems to want to recapture the genial bumbling of KINDERGARTEN COP - some of exec producer Chris Columbus' more acrid influence is here (Arnie decks a savage reindeer! Ho-ho-ho!) and had the film genuinely maintained a darker tone, it may have worked better and more effectively balanced the schmaltz. Schwarzenegger again shows his flair for light comedy and Hartman as a slimy, effete(?) neighbour nearly steals the film.

Somewhere in the 90s, in a dimly lit room, atop of some skyscraper in Hollywood, there must have been a secret meeting between top producers. They'd be sitting there, with their cigars, thinking up ways of further degrading Arnold Schwarzenegger's career. -"Let's put him in another disgustingly sugarsweet family comedy." -"Great idea! Okay, the last time we made him say 'ferret' over and over. What other words could showcase his horrible English? Suggestions?" -"How about the word.. 'Turbo'?"

A "Shit Sandwich" movie, in that it's the type to earn a witty one-line dig of a review. Except, even that's too much effort for this material, and every minute I think about it is another minute wasted. To say it represents everything I hate about the holidays, or studio films, would be putting it lightly. It represents everything I hate about the human race (especially you, Sinbad).

Jingle All The Way is one the stupidest Christmas films ever, but Im guilty of watching this every year at Christmas time. I love Schwarzenegger in comedic roles and although he's incredibly cringe worthy here, he's absolutely hilarious also. And Sinbad & Hartman are funny too. The whole film is completely stupid but its humorously quotable. I should hate this poor excuse of a Christmas film, but it definitely falls into the 'it's so bad it's good' category and I hold my hands up to liking this.

It's funny that all these years later movies like Krampus still make reference to these mob rushes that were occurring close to thirty years ago as if online shopping didn't pretty much butcher that. Somehow the novelty of waking up at 4:00am and getting worse and worse deals wore off. Not unlike the novelty of Sinbad...

A lot of things are wrong here. First, the obvious: Schwarzenegger is trying to be funny (on purpose, that is). Also, a guy simply dubbed "SINBAD" is in the cast. That's ... a truly bad sign. ... Wait, I'll just stop here. Leave the rest to you. I'll hand it a couple of points, though, for that ehm... christmas feel. But that's just me being weak. Weak.

It certainly does well in capturing that Christmas consumer craziness, with its over-the-top single-day plot filled with every-man-for-himself shopping shenanigans featuring the not-exactly-Academy-Award-worthy Arnold, his arsenal of awesome one-liners ("I'm not a pervert!"), and a couple of recurring antagonists. In terms of fitting in those Christmas spirit fuzzies, though, the film flops (Arnold's redemption is almost all luck), the kid's surprising and moving final act of generosity aside.

Classic Christmas movie starring Arnold, Sinbad, young Darth Vadar, the late Phil Hartman, and Tom Hanks' wife, and featuring cameos from that voice actor from those adult cartoons, Mini Me, and Gene Parmesan. Favorite part of the film was when Booger, playing "Chain Smoking Booster", got punched by Sinbad and was then mauled by kids flinging gay slurs at him. My 7 year old son made me rewind this part over and over again, much to the consternation of his mother. It's not very good.

Among the dopiest of '90s comedies, with a third act that made even my 8-year-old self go, "Psh, yeah right." Endlessly watchable especially around the holidays; Phil Hartman is always a highlight but in all honesty Arnold and Sinbad are both quite likable with roles that play to their strengths.

Sinbad is terrible, Arnie is great – it’s a sort of tug of war between the two of them trying to see how cringy or how funny they can make the film, but it’s a cohesive narrative with a silly enough premise to follow and enjoy. I even liked the scenes with Lionel "Creepy McCreeperson" Hutz, the dodgy, pervy neighbour. I think most would be hard-pressed to call this a good film, but it's got to be given credit for scoring considerably higher than others of its ilk.

This has quickly become my go-to Holiday Christmas film. Yes the acting is bad, yes many of the jokes fall flat, but it has certain charm and is itself a very under-rated satire of the consumerist cultures that surrounds Christmas and the lengths people will go to dehumanize themselves to massive toy conglomerates during the holiday. Just kidding, Anakin Skywalker ruins this film like everything else.

I remember this movie being nostalgically fun, but on second viewing, it's actually pretty terrible. The acting is all over the place (featuring some great bad kid acting from Jake Lloyd.) The plot is paper thin and really only serves to set up some cartoonish action sequences and inexplicable Sinbad stand-up monologues. Phil Hartman is good as the creepy neighbor, but if you're over the age of five, this film is probably not going to cut it, even as a Christmas movie.
