A Christmas Story Christmas
 
Now streaming on HBOMax, Peter Billingsley returns to his iconic role of Ralph Parker in "A Christmas Story Christmas", where the now adult Ralphie takes his family to his childhood hometown where he plans to honor his late father by coming with a Christmas for the ages in the 1970s.

Billingsley also came up with the story for the film, and returning from the original are Scott Schwartz as Flick, RD Robb as Schwartz, Zack Ward as Scut Farkus, and Ian Petrella as Randy. Julie Hagerty ("Airplane") replaces Melinda Dillon as Mrs. Parker.

This sounds like a really terrible idea, as much as I love the original movie, and I guess that's why I think it's a terrible idea, because I'm pretty sure it will destroy the original movie's legacy.

Yeah, I'm on the fence with this one also. But will watch it.

I'm in the minority of people who don't like the original, so there's no way I'm watching this.

I watched this today. Although not as good as the original, this has enough charm, warmth and humour to make it worthwhile. My rating is 7/10.

I might just watch this, based on Allaby's post. Allaby, I hope you're right:p

It's got a 7.0 rating on the IMDB, I may have to watch it, because I've found anything rated above 7 is usually a very good movie.

I’m always right…

I'll be interested in seeing your review. I don't think I'll watch the movie until December.

Gideon58 11-18-22 02:25 PM

Actually, I meant I've now decided to watch it. I may not get to it for a couple of days.
