Arnold Schwarzenegger fights the Christmas crowds and
Sinbad to get his son a hot toy.
SEX/NUDITY 2 - Sexual innuendo. A woman is shown in her nightgown. Arnie is
undressed, down to his boxer shorts.
VIOLENCE/GORE 4 - A TV screen shows some ninja/superhero-type fighting. On
the show a kid is tossed off a cliff and saved by a flying superhero. Cartoon-style
slapstick violence: A toy store manager gets trampled by customers, a man is knocked down
by a mailbag, a man falls and lands flat on his back, an all-out brawl takes place and a
man gets pepper spray in the eyes and gets beaten by purses. A man fights a gang of ninja
Santas and knocks them down with a big candy cane. Giant Santas knock an elf across a
room, beat a man, and pile on another man. A man is knocked in the head with a telephone
receiver and choked, a man slugs a reindeer in the jaw, hot coffee is spilled on a cop's
face, a woman hits a man with a thermos bottle, a superhero/super-villain battle breaks
out, projectiles are shot at a man, a man is kicked between the legs by a kid. A bomb
explodes off-screen, leaving victims with burn marks, but otherwise only stunned. Cops
point guns at two men. A kid climbs up the side of a building and eventually falls off,
but is saved. In a fantasy scene, a child drinks whiskey mixed with coffee.
PROFANITY 2 - One anatomical reference, and a few mild obscenities. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Workaholism; holiday stress.
MESSAGE - Breaking promises can damage relationships.

A CAVEAT: We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and some of our early standards were not as stringent as they are now. We therefore need to revisit many older reviews, especially those written prior to 1998 or so; please keep this in mind if you're consulting a review from that period. While we plan to revisit and correct older reviews our resources are limited and it is a slow, time-consuming process. |
