12.30.2008 - 12:29 | EternalNightmareAwesome review. I never knew Arnold was such a cannibal.
Brawl is way better than Mario Kart, by the way (even though Mario Kart kicks ass as well). Lol.

I actually remember liking the movie. During the movie it was kinda decent, but after it, I realized what a waste of time it was.
Doug does Arnold better than Arnold.

12.30.2008 - 12:36 | VyseIm surprised you didn't bring up the ending after the credits, where it turns out he didn't buy his wife anything.
By the way, can you tell me your brawl friend code? I'd think it be fun to have a [s]new punching bag[/s] famous internet star as a friend.

I remember seeing that in theaters. I thought it was pretty good... How wrong I was. Glad to see you tear it to shreds. :D
For that Parade scene, I was expecting you say the mind f*ck again from the Tom & Jerry movie.
Nice as always, Mr. Critic

Hilarious review of a bad, bad film. The Arnold impressions were gold, though the best was when you entered Chester A Bum mode when you were shouting about cookies. The Phil Hartman impression was spot-on, too.
The funniest moment for me, though, was the sitcom music and narration after the wife tells him about buying the toy on Christmas.
I expected you to do a great job ripping this to shreds and you knocked it out of the park!

12.30.2008 - 12:42 | neddxGreat review! What better way to ruin Christmas with the little kid who played Anakin Skywalker. All they needed was for Hayden Kristensen to show up in spirit and you got the greatest holiday classic since the Star Wars Holiday Special; it's as meaningless as it sounds. Though, I have to admit, I did enjoy it as a kid, and I actually kind of like Arnold in some films, and even the bad ones are still funny to watch. At least he's not Jean Claude Van Damme. I wonder what a Christmas movie with him would be like.
"Our superiors say...Christmas is canceled...we can all go home...meanwhile ideals...like...consumeri sm...merchandising...and who heast...they get packed...but we can all go home...Well I'm not going home...I am going to get on my one horse sleigh...and I am going to kick that son of a bitch, the Grinch's ass so hard that the next Grinch wannabe...is going to feel it. Now...who wants to go home...and who wants to go with me!?

12.30.2008 - 12:46 | PlasticCupI hate this movie so much. You gave it a great bashing!
A big problem here is that everyone in this film was completely unlikeable. Arnold, who wants to buy his son's love instead of actually spending time with him, the annoying wife, the sleazy neighbor, Sinbad and the son. What a brat.
The plot itself was unlikeable as well. A father trying to buy off his young child's affection. How nice. I imagine the idea of Arnold going through everything he did just for his son is intended to be admirable but it certainly didn't come across that way to me. It just looked like he was desperate for a quick fix for the relationship with his son.
Also, as shallow as this is, I found Arnold's accent to be very distracting in this movie.

12.30.2008 - 12:51 | BloodySharpieThe song you put in when you were dancing with the pirate hat: I remember that being in The Addams Family. Hilarious scene, along with you jumping out of the window. I think it would have been kind of funny if you mentioned Arnold's character unknowingly getting revenge on the other father by spewing on him. Definitely a great review.
PS- If you ever get Mario Kart for your new Wii, I would like to race you sometime. >:3

Phil Hartman? A young Anakin Skywalker? I've watched this movie and didn't realize that! I remember feeling ticked off the kid didn't get to keep his doll in the end, but hey, thats me!
Also, was one of the store clerks from about 5:50-6:10 Chris Parnell? And wasn't the radio DJ Willard Kraft from Sabrina the Teenage witch?
P.S I LOL'd at the freak out when you found out who Jake Lloyd was...
So, Arnie can make many jokes about ice in batman and Robin, but nothing about reindeers here? Irony?
-
12.30.2008 - 12:58 | RhomegaThe latest edition of Super Smash Bros. Brawl? Is that the one with Simon Belmont and Mega Man?
Anyway, I consider this a holiday classic...but I'm not so sure I can anymore after seeing this review. You really put things into perspective, even if half the jokes were mocking Arnold rather than the movie itself.

12.30.2008 - 13:01 | ThaluikhainNormally I find NC's antics a bit over the top and annoying, but jumping out the window like that was hilarious.

12.30.2008 - 13:04 | HoudiniGreat review, you caught a few huge things I missed when watching this, especially at the end. Hilarious, too. You get more over the top all the time.
The movie itself wasn't the worst thing I've ever seen, it was just shallow and half-retarded. I can see the stuff about buying the son's affection, but I thought the basic premise of the first quarter of it was sort of realistic in a way - little kids like that always act that way. It could have been done way better though.
...although even then, the part where Jake Lloyd goes from being angry at Ahnold to loving him again over the Turboman doll thing was pushing it.
