Admirable film.
A Major Disappointment
The acting in this movie is really good.
While dozens of Christmas films roll off the production line every year, very few manage to capture the festive season, and the audience's hearts, quite like 'A Christmas Story'. This 80s classic is a real crowd-pleaser, a film that can be enjoyed by anyone regardless of age or film taste, which explains its continued popularity with TV networks.Ralphie is a character we can all relate to, because we were all that kid a Christmas once. The film gets his character spot on and the events that take place in the film will bring back a lot of memories for the average viewer. For such a shallow storyline the film provides so much enjoyment and, although there are other films I would rather watch over the festive season than this one, it remains a classic to this day and will always be up there as one of the Christmas greats.
Great nostalgia! I lived much of it. Born in 1938 and raised in Indiana, the film seemed autobiographical. Well done!
I don't like kids and I don't like things meant for kids but this is not bad. It's predictable, sure, but that is kind of the point. I guess you have to say it has some action AND it does recall some laughs. If you're a Christmas movie junkie come December, this is a must see. Otherwise, meh. It makes my 5 - 10 year re-watch list.
A classic, that's what Bob Clark created in 1983, when he directed A Christmas Story, starring Peter Billingsley as Ralphie. It wasn't an instant classic though, but it was a bigger hit than the studio could have anticipated. Classic nonetheless, as it plays just as often as IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE, or A Christmas CAROL starring Alastair Sim.Darren McGavin stars as Ralphie's father, in the most memorable role of his life. And the sub-story about the special prize, the leg lamp he won is just as memorable. So much in fact, the lamp has it's own following and Christmas ornament.The film has become an icon of American Christmas celebrations. The film also helped to re-popularize the Red Ryder BB gun. If you enjoy Christmas films and a little nostalgia, then this will surely warm your heart and make you laugh.
