How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A madcap Christmas farce where a workaholic dad tears through Minnesota on Christmas Eve hunting the last Turbo Man action figure, learning that presence matters more than presents. It's gleefully absurd chaos wrapped in genuine warmth about fatherhood.

Reviews
Jingle All the Way is an every few years while I'm doing something else kind of Christmas watch. I love Phil Hartman in it, and I love that it's Chris Parnell's feature film debut.
