Jingle All The Way 2 (Blu-ray) Available for Preorder (1 Viewer)

 

I'd love to know what people actually feel compelled to watch this kind of straight to DVD/Blu garbage, let alone BUY it on Blu Ray to add to their movie collection.

Good grief! They actually made a sequel?

Oh wait, Larry ("Nothing Is Too Chintzy for Me") the Cable Guy -- that explains it!

Way to strike while the skillet is hot.

I'm sure fans of the first movie have been eagerly ready for this after 18 years despite having almost no relation to the first movie. I mean they couldn't even get Sinbad?

You'd think they could at least make a TurboMan movie.

Oh god, as if the 1st wasn't bad enough & to top it all off they wait many yrs after the original one lol.

Sounds...awesome.

The synopsis sounds suspiciously like the original film in quite a few respects.

Probably the exact same plot...but edgier (in a 2014 kind of way).

You have to love that joke in the press release: "this second installment of the successful film franchise."

I propose a new rule: There must be two successful films in a series before it becomes a "franchise." (There isn't even one in this case!)

Yes, but it became a "franchise" after everyone bought the DVD on sale at Christmastime, thinking "Oh, look, a Christmas comedy!"
Some movies actually improve with years on disk/cable. And some just sucker a lot of gullible dopes too young to remember it flopping in theaters.

But yes, the new rule would apply to the director's previous work with LTCG on "Tooth Fairy 2".

Oh, but he's buying the toy for his daughter, this time!
(And it's a plush toy, that's huggier by the end than an action figure, which...nobody buys today anyway. )

And maybe more farting jokes...

Larry the Cable Guy had to stop taking his Prilosec OTC during the filming because he's a Method actor.....


This is the cinematic equivalent of finding a turd in your stocking on Christmas morning.

Funny thing is that they probably could've made the sequel w Arnold.

As someone who never understood the popularity of the first Jingle movie, I cannot imagine how bad this must be...

IMO, the first one was one of the worst Christmas movies ever...the movie equivalent of a Black Friday at Walmart.

If Hollywood could make A Christmas Story 2, a supremely unnecessary sequel to a movie that already had a sequel MGM buried when they were going through yet another one of their bankruptcies, what made anyone think this was off-limits, other than the fact that in the case of A Christmas Story, people actually like that film?

Here's a scarier thought: Larry the Cable Guy has a link to Alfred Hitchcock by way of having done movies with Paul Newman and Julie Andrews.

The year this came out, I rented Mame, Can't Stop the Music and Myra Breckinridge on VHS just so I could brag about having sat through them*. Not one of them was as bad as Jingle all the Way.

As for Those 90s Christmas Movies We're Supposed to Be Nostalgic For Because It's Been (or It's Approaching) 20 Years or Already: Home Alone I can do (less and less so with each sequel after Part 2). The Santa Clause I can take or leave, honestly (never saw any of the sequels). But I'd rather get a lump of coal than sit through this again. Nevertheless, this film actually wasn't that big a flop either; it came in 22nd for the year and actually beat some movies that are better than it (that opens the field pretty wide, but come on, more people bought tickets to this than Evita?). But just because people bought a ticket doesn't mean they liked it, and you can't get a refund just because you didn't like the movie. This must be getting a lot of replays on TBS.

*to whom? None of the people who knew of the films or their either toxic or practically non-existent critical reputations were people I knew personally, and likewise, no one I knew particularly cared about the outcome of the 1980 Razzies or any ceremony since then.

Yep, the Tickle-Me-Elmo rush was still a fresh gag at the time, or so the producers thought.
(As was the very idea of doing a comedy with Schwarzenegger, even without Ivan Reitman.)

Basically, every year we have what I term the Christmas "Trepak Comedy"...Y'know, the one loud slapstick holiday-themed comedy made solely so they can blitz us with TV ads where the characters smash into things/each other, slip on the ice and fall down to the tune of the Russian Trepak dance from the Nutcracker. (QV. Home Alone 1&2, Christmas with the Kranks, the Broderick/DeVito "Deck the Halls")
The first Jingle wanted to be efficient and no-frills and cut out every OTHER reason for existence.

Christmas with the Kranks: Still holds the distinction of the worst film I've ever seen in a movie theater...
