Can you imagine being to the role of Harold Langston? It’s often said that the presents at Christmas is the most important part for children.They usually send with huge passion their letters to Santa Claus or three wise men,yet children are looking forward to spending time with their parents in this warm time and it is true that the situation in our stress society is not easy.I’m sure that Harold would have wished to spend more time with his son in spite of looking for his son’s gift.
Jingle All the Way is an American family film.It was directed in 1996 by Brian Levant and it was also released by Fox company.This loving Christmas film initially received negative reviews,generally from Schwarzenegger haters.Besides,it is fair to point out that Fox was ordered to a compensation due to the fact it was supposed for stealing the idea.Finally,this film had a sequel in 2014.
Howard is a stress business man who is always worried over his work,he spends long hours in the office and his family,his wife and his son Jamie,is fully upset about that because he always promises them to change his timetable.The day before Christmas,Howard is involved in a huge traffic jam,he arrives very late at home.Once he gets home,his wife comments him that if Howard could buy the Jamie’s Christmas wish,an action figure of Turbo-Man which is a popular television superhero an it is so difficult to achieve at this time.Howard lies his wife saying that he had bought this toy.So,immediatelly,Howard goes to the shopping center in order to get it.There,he realizes that it is impossible to find it,it is out of stock in all malls.During this chaotic process,Howard figures out a rivalry with Myron Larabee (Sinbad),a father with the same ambition.In desperation due to his unforgivable neglect,he suffers fights,experiences with car thieves along with police persecutions.Maybe,Howard will keep his promise in future situations.
It’s crystal clear that not only is this film a way of entertaining,but also a comedy.For this last reason,it’s fair to point out that while there’s some genuine laughs and warm sentimentality to be had,it is vital to take into account that Brian Levant’s Jingle All the Way represents everything that’s bad with Christmas today concerning of consumerism.
….Always keep your promise if you want to keep your friends.
