Title: A Morally, Creatively and Intellectually Brain Dead Cash-In
Product review: Completely brainless fluff with neither a sentiment nor a care in the world. All the pieces are there to revisit the Charlie Brown Christmas Special's message about materialism overpowering the true spirit of the season, but for whatever reason it never even threatens to get to the point. Arnold, in one of his cheesiest roles, (and that's really saying something) breaks laws of more than just a criminal nature in his search for an elusive limited-supply action figure on Christmas Eve. Without exception, every single character in the film is a disdainful, greedy, self-centered jerk with little, if any, redeeming value. Even the matriarch of Arnold's family, long the voice of reason in such pictures, is a judgmental, misguided wasp who graces the screen with perhaps the worst closing line I've heard in years. A pointless exercise that, astonishingly, seems to come to the conclusion that consumerism is good - so long as you buy early.
