The first time I saw this was back in high school. I rented it(I'm sure it opened in a movie theater somewhere) and watched it with some friends. We had a blast, and it became one of our go to movies when it was time to rent something. No one would ever object to it because they had never seen or heard of it before. And everyone enjoyed it (even the girls,bonus!). But that was a while ago, then to my total amazement it was on IFC. I was nervous that it would not hold up, but it did to my relief. Who ever came up with the idea of an inner city cop and a semi-feral boy teaming up to take on a drug cartel in a pseudo western set in Santa's village is a F##king genius. OK, the music did not hold up but man is it funny. There is one song that crosses the line from funny into embarrassing. I would not be surprised if its a Joey Travolta tune. Or maybe even a Joey Travolta cover tune! So if you have a thing for 80's action or 80's hair or just want to see something a bit different then its definitely worth a rent.
