Jingle All the Way

Austrian hunk-turned-Governor of California Arnold Schwarzenegger might look somewhat ruefully on this comical attempt to shake off his action-man image, but even though it's hardly the sparkling affair he might have hoped for, it has proved marginally more successful than similar outing Kindergarten Cop. It's a frivolously festive affair in which Schwarzenegger plays a workaholic attempting to make up for his perpetual absence from home by promising to buy his son a massively popular action figure for Christmas - little realising every other father in town has the same idea. Sinbad co-stars as another harassed dad vying for the toy, with Jake Lloyd, Rita Wilson, Robert Conrad and Phil Hartman
