This sort of idea has always been present in television shows everywhere, but to take a simple concept and stretch it into a full-length motion picture is a challenge to the utmost level. Thankfully, we have good writing by Randy Kornfield, decent direction by Brian Levant, and the supervision of Chris Columbus (Home Alone, Harry Potter, Mrs. Doubtfire, Adventures in Babysitting). Looking past the seemingly heavy dosage of criticism against American society and Big Business, we see the cast throw our victim fathers into every possible awful and unfortunate scenario possible, and the range of ideas presented are amazing. Howard Langston (Arnold Schwarzenegger) is a workaholic mattress salesman, who does not find time for his wife, Liz (Rita Wilson), and his young son, Jamie (Jake Lloyd) - especially when compared to next door "superdad" divorcee, Ted Maltin (Phil Hartman), who continually puts Howard in a bad light. |Put That Cookie Down Now 3D Printed Christmas Cookie Cutter Holiday Happy New Years Jingle All the way O'Connor, Mike (March 26, 1996).

Everything in this film, whether unintended or intentional, downplays the meaning of Christmas and all that goes on. There isn't a single decent Santa Claus in the film; they are all corrupt human beings with a different agenda. The stores are not trying to please anyone; they just want money for themselves and enjoy seeing people scrap for chances of earning a doll like starving dogs fighting over a hunk of meat. The main child doesn't say he wants his dad to stay home for Christmas, he says he wants a certain doll, and even recites the entire commercial, including the final words "Batteries Not Included." Nobody is helping each other; everyone is fighting, pushing people towards aisles and toy displays. While the entire thing is comical, it truly does happen in the real world. There was even one pivotal scene in which Byron the mailman discusses the importance of getting that special gift; he compares himself to another child that got the hot item on a certain year. Byron is disappointed, grows up to become a loser; neighbor that gets the doll becomes a multi-millionaire. Fox loses legal fight over script". BBC News. March 7, 2001.

He can do sci-fi, action, and comedy quite well. This is a very good comedic family film about a parent trying to get the perfect Christmas gift for his son.

Some of the humor is obviously for the children viewers while some of the humor is geared towards adults, so that they can enjoy the film as well. There is also a fair amount of special effects in the film too, which were done pretty well.Helicopter Seat, also for Capture Copter, Turbo Swamp Craft, Avenger Pursuit Craft APC, Replica 3D Print First of all, let me say I am way easier on Christmas movies than I am general releases.
