Critics Consensus: Arnold Schwarzenegger tries his best, but Jingle All the Way suffers from an uneven tone, shifting wildly from a would-be satire on materialism to an antic, slapstick yuk-fest.

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!

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.

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

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

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.

What Parents Need to Know

Parents need to know that this film offers nothing in the way of genuine family fun. Young kids may enjoy the action, car chases, and explosions, but they aren't worth it for the miserable messages about consumerism and buying your child's love.
