Filmotomy Christmas Advent Calendar 2018 – Day 12

Most Coveted Christmas Toy

Workaholic, guilt-ridden salesman Howard wishes he could spend more time with his son, Jamie. Belittled continuously by his doting neighbour, Howard vows to get his boy the best toy in town: Turbo Man.

But nothing is ever simple – especially at Christmas – and Howard finds himself on a wild (festive) goose chase on which he forms a rival in the postman.

Super slapstick chaos, Jingle all the Way is perfect for watching on a lazy Sunday afternoon. But as silly as it may be, it was inspired by the real-life high demand for Cabbage Patch Kids and Might Morphin Power Rangers. Move aside, Turbo Man.
