Completely overblown and ridiculous, this still works surprisingly well and has "guilty pleasure" written all over it. A lot of enjoyment comes from seeing an actress you wouldn't expect turn into a great action heroine. Like Liam Neeson in the Taken franchise, Geena Davis takes on an unfamiliar role, chews the scenery and has a blast and a lot of what makes this film so watchable is seeing her transformation. The script by Shane Black shows its age somewhat, but it is still pretty funny in places, with Samuel L Jackson knowing exactly the kind of tone the film is going for. There is also a brilliant cameo from Brian Cox. The film loses its way a little bit in the final act as they try to increase the scale and stakes, and the lack of subtlety grates on occasion, but it is still a lot of fun.

Advocates of Die Hard being the best Christmas movie have clearly forgotten about this. For a start, it's a proper Christmas movie rather than a movie set at Christmas. And if you don't know, now you know!

Geena Davis and Samuel L. Jackson are a lot of fun in this very cheesy and 90s Christmas action movie. Shane Black's script has some good humor and great lines for Samuel L. Jackson.

Absolute nonsense of the highest degree.

All I knew about this is that's considered a cult Christmas classic. I thought the story was too convoluted. Maybe it gets easier to follow who is who on repeated watches. But I didn't think it was that good to revisit it. Good, fun ending, though.
