10 Most Annoying Christmas Movies Of All Time
10. Jingle All The Way 2
Larry the Cable Guy stars in a sequel made by WWE Studios to 1996 film that featured Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sinbad in a battle to score a Turbo Man action figure for their respective children. Yes, both of these things happened. The original Jingle All the Way wasn't bad for a festive popcorn movie, but its sequel raised the bar on unlikeable characters to a whole new level.
It's still essentially a rivalry between two dads masquerading as an anti-consumerism morality tale, but this time it's not just about finding a wildly popular toy that's sold out at most stores.
This time it's a dad and stepdad coming up with different ways to keep the other from buying the well-stocked toy their daughter really wants -- even going so far as to completely buy one store out of the toy -- thus apparently winning this fatherly pissing contest in the process.
It's slapstick hijinks through and through, but there's something very uncomfortable in the way these two goofy alpha males physically fight each other for their daughter's affection. Their scenes together -- which are obviously meant to be the highlights of the film -- are awkward, lame, and not nearly as goofy as one would expect.
