Jingle All The Way-It's Turbo Time!!!

My first Pick for this holiday season is surprisingly an Arnold movie from the 90's. But yes, it about Christmas and of course, in this movie too we shall ignore Arnold's effort to act and concentrate on the more cheerful things :-)
But seriously this is among his most remembered movies and especially more so as he completely broke out of his mould as an action hero and adapted to the role of a father and a family guy so easily.
The story is about his son's character wanting an action figure for Christmas. Now like most dads Arnold wanted to be there for his son for most of the time, but due to work and a little bad luck, he always lacked somewhere. Therefore, he sees this want of his son as an opportunity to bond with his son again.
There is one small problem though.
The Action Figure is completely sold out on Christmas Eve and he cannot find one of those in the entire city!! Add to his dilemma, he has a cunning postman, a mad reindeer and a sly neighbour to contend with along with accomplising his task of buying a Turbo-man for his son.
Now the story is simplistic and direct, but also it is a movie that would entertain all audieces and more so it is a movie that gets you in the festive spirit without being 'in your face' about it.
Among the cast it's obviously Arnold who carries it on his Broad shoulders and his lack of acting is cobvered in the honesty of emotion that he so enthusiastically carries through his role.

I', going with 3.5 out of 5 for 'Jingle All The Way'.
It's a movie that'll take you back to your childhood.

Happy Holidays & Keep Reeling
