Fantastic. A true sequel to the original. There are tons of subtle call outs to the original. This needs to air with every marathon.

A true love letter to the original 1983 classic. It does a good job of walking that fine line between retreading old story beats and honoring the film’s predecessor.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I liked it. It was funny in a quirky way. Definitely will be a Christmas movie to enjoy every year as a tradition. A Christmas Story is iconic but this one is a good watch with the whole family movie.… Expand

A wonderful tribute to the original film. It keeps the charm and warmth of the original, while respectfully not trying to replicate first film. Instead, this sequel pays homage to the first with reverence and nostalgia, in the finest ways.

Not bad movie! It’s great to see most of the characters again. Parts of it will make you cry and laugh. Just watch! You won’t want your time back!

Yet another reminder how difficult it is to make a good movie. Whoever wrote this needs a 12 step program.

But the problems faced by the original can’t begin to compare to those of this ill-conceived sequel, a plodding and even more meandering release that’s just not funny and is far too derivative for its own good. It’s easy to see why this is a project that went straight to streaming, because it never would have stood a chance in theaters, despite whatever goodwill and good cheer the holiday season might have been available to generously (and undeservedly) shower upon it. In short, director Clay Kaytis’s third feature outing misses the mark across the board with its lame narrative and even lamer attempts at humor, which come too few and far between to be detectable. “A Christmas Story Christmas” once again proves the old Hollywood adage about not remaking classics or attempting to produce sequels of them; they rarely work, as is very much the case here – a project that never should have left the drawing board.… Expand

things i would rather do than watch this movie: run barefoot through a lego covered floor. shoot mythis movie is fantastic and a true sequel to the original. thats what i wouuld say if i was a liar. i reality this film gave me ass cancer.

things i would rather do than watch this movie:

run barefoot through a lego covered floor.

shoot my own eye out with a red ryder bb gun.

get a rough handjob from a chimpanzee.

enjoy a nice homecooked meal with jeffrey dahmer.

trust a fart after taco bell.

spend the afernoon with james corden and amy schumer.

in closing this film is further proof that hollywood is runny out of ideas.
i think they should play this movie on loop in prisons as a way to punish rapist and childmolesters… Expand
