An imperfect but classic Holiday film
The scripting and writing are questionable, but it still provides plenty of laughs, a somewhat coherent Christmas message and an essence of escapism that provides a decent film. It also helps that it is one of Arnold Schwarzenegger's final comedy roles before he sadly went into politics. He plays a father named Howard who is struggling to be there for his family on Christmas and learns that time with them matters more than gifts; Howard even tries to go to great lengths to keep his wife safe from his next-door sleazy neighbor.
Recently, TV airings of the movie edit out some certain scenes, possibly out of DEI “removing objectionable material”. One is Howard attempting to get a Turbo-Man toy, the hotly coveted toy that the plot wraps around, from an old lady who had it on layaway. Another is a counterfeiter Santa, a small man, who was attacking Howard, only to be accidentally punched across the room by another counterfeiter Santa trying to attack Howard as well.
