It just shocks me when people of the RLM age group don't remember all the hysteria over Buzz Lightyear toys in 95, or the tickle me Elmo aisle wars that went on in the mid 90s. Like, shit was getting down to fists and violence. Jingle All The Way is funny to me because it was absolutely true for parents in the 90s, especially last minute shoppers. The commercial IS the story, and I don't think the movie is trying to say its a good thing. The dad, the mailman, and all of those parents are *supposed* to look like assholes.

I wish they did more commentary tracks

The Arnold casting is what makes it funny and unique, for me at least. The obvious action hero as an everyman, the very cynical and consumerist approach to Christmas, even the bad Arnold disguise at the end, all those mismatches make the movie way funnier than if it was played straight. If anything, it should've leaned more into that

I mean it does have a certain level of charm to it but Mike's suggestion for tweaking it would have made for a better movie if it was trying to be more like a Home Alone or Gremlims. For me personally if they were deadset on Arnold, they should have doubled down on the more whimsical elements like the there being a jetpack. There should have been more whacky shit in general like that santa gang and bomb threat scene. Like things seem normal initially but it just sporadically reveals its more of a comic book world ala Gotham City, and he stole the suit from the real Turbo Man (instead of just an actor that has a working jetpack for reasons), with unfathomable shit happening around him or because of him, but the movie still acts like nothing weird is going and the actual story remains pretty much the same. Also Turbo Man being an animated character would have just been neat lol.

The parade scene was filmed on the New York Street set at Universal Studios, which is visible from the tour ride. I happened to be on the tour when they were filming one of the shots for the parade, and it blew my mind as a kid to see the movie later and realize i had physically been in the movie before it came out (been in the same fake city)

It's also nice because it looks like Arnold was just having fun the whole movie. In a normal movie obviously someone else should be cast in his role, but Arnold's casting is perfectly in line with the entire tone of the movie. I think the scene where everyone starts laughing at him in the store perfectly captures the tone of the film overall. It's completely unrealistic for everyone to care so much about what toy is popular and to all laugh so hard at him for being oblivious to the situation. The realistic treatment of hyperbole and absurdity and caricaturing of reactions and emotions is the whole joke the movie is going for I think.
