At the end of the day, Jingle All the Way is a holiday classic that kids can take good lessons from, and adults will be able to at least laugh at a bit

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 29, 2024

Schwarzenegger's charisma helps somewhat. [Full review in Spanish]

...the movie benefits substantially from Schwarzenegger's go-for-broke turn as the progressively frantic central character...

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Dec 14, 2021

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!

| Original Score: B+ | Dec 21, 2020

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.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Dec 29, 2018

Regardless of how crazy it was, it is actually still entertaining. You can't help but laugh at some of the madness. Pure madness.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 8, 2018

I have a soft spot for it, because I saw it so many times as a kid, but this is not a good movie.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 8, 2018

The film is very loud, and festooned with the sort of comic violence far more disturbing than anything in an 18-rated movie.

Ahnold terminates the holiday spirit.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Dec 18, 2010

Of course, the kid will eventually realize that fatherly love means more than money (if forced to choose), and that he has the real Last Action Figure in good ol' Dad.

still heartless and unfunny and as welcome a part of the holidays as traffic and fruit cake.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Nov 3, 2007

Home Alone, this is not, but for a family Christmas movie, it's surprisingly fun.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 23, 2007

In this formulaic star vehicle, Schwarzenegger gets to fly like Peter Pan, act like Superman--and fulfill all the fantasies kids may have about their fathers.

If it weren't for the credits 'A Brian Levant Film' and 'Directed by Brian Levant,' one would be certain that the director was Chris Columbus.

OK family fun casts Arnold with Sinbad.

And one wonders why Sinbad hasn't made any movies since
