JINGLE ALL THE WAY (Theatrical Release USA 1996)

 Ben Meyers’ rating: 3.8|5.0 Starsììì 

Jingle all the Way—feel-good Christmas film—with Arnold Schwarzenegger, begins well, lags a bit in the middle of the movie, and then picks up pace through the concluding scenes. The addition of Sinbad does not work well as supporting cast member. The movie serves the family audience.
