This movie is like mainlining and overdosing on pure 100% uncut nostalgia. An 80's movie that has an adult narrator reminiscing about his childhood, taking place in the early 40's, centering around the most universally saccharine holiday possible, Christmas; all this creates a magical Americana period piece that somehow feels timeless. That said, I don't need two different basic cable TV channels to provide me with a 24 hour nostalgia drip to survive the holiday with my family, but some may.

A year earlier he made Porky's. Bob Clark (director of the not heartwarming classic Black Christmas, not to mention Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things): I don't always direct all time classics beloved by millions and regarded as a Christian holiday standard, but when I do, it's fresh off of filming a guy sticking his penis through a hole in the wall of a girl's shower room.

Yeah, I know. Maybe I just don't "get it." But I never connected with this movie the way others seem to. It's just too mean-spirited and - even worse - not all that funny. It doesn't help that several channels play it nonstop for a good month before Christmas.

This seems to be a stalwart of US festive watching, but this was my first time seeing it. It's surprisingly good, with a great script, tinged with nostalgia and feeling oddly familiar. The acting is pretty damn good too - the young 'uns in particular do a fine job. Seems at odds with the director's other films, although some of those are worth watching. This is funny, human and rather enjoyable.

Ann odd film with a painful family life that the filmmakers don't seem to understand is painful. The dinner table scenes are excruciating in this regard. The narration is occasionally funny, but generally overdone, and while there are a few genuine laughs, the lagging second half and the abrupt shift of tone for Christmas day left me more glazed and puzzled than anything.

Maybe you need to be a member of the Silent Generation to relate to this movie? For me, it's just a whole bunch of... vaguely unpleasant, cynical-but-not-thoughtful incident. It's not fundamentally *fun* in any meaningful way, and I'm not sure how so many people who grew up with it on TV in the '80s, '90s and '00s find it relatable. It feels worlds apart from that experience of childhood.

I advise anyone out there: be careful how much you are exposed to this movie. I say this because every year I had family members watch the 24-hour rerun of this ALL DAY; definitely ruined the movie for me, and I'll never watch it again. However, my rating tries to reflect what I thought the first time I saw it, and it was good. Still not a better Christmas movie than Die Hard.

I can't think of any other movie that satirizes the childhood perspective for the entire duration. The father's gibberish-sounding swearing, the helpless little brother, the yellow-eyed bully, the intimidating adults, etc. And the narration (by the author) serves as a comically dramatic reading of poetically childish thoughts.

To call A Christmas Story a movie that everyone can love, is an understatement. It's a movie that everyone can relate to. The main character's narration, that of a grown man telling of his childhood Christmas, enhances this feeling and nostalgia a conveys a sense of nostalgia. This doesn't merely refer to the major plot points, but more so the small moments, such as the way the family communicates with each other. But, it would not have become so iconic if the family wasn't played so flawlessly.

A Christmas Story is unapologetic nostalgia for childhood. It evokes that period not as it was, but as we remember it. It's about the thrill of Christmas morning, not when you have opened the presents, played with your toys, and had a bad case of buyer's remorse, but the thrill that comes with waking up that morning as a kid. That is the primary draw of this film, and your opinion depends largely on that fact.

It's not an altogether great piece of film, but it oozes a tone of Midwest nostalgia rarely (if ever) achieved in modern cinema, where teachers are witches, bullies have yellow eyes, and the world is complete with a BB rifle in your fingers. Imagination and a drab and dreary Cleveland come together for a winter's tale of woe.

I just didn't really like this kid. He's kind of weak, weaselly, a bit of a coward & doesn't have much game. I know a lot of kids imprinted on him and saw him as a child Bilbo-Bagginish hero, but I see him more as the precursor to the Wimpy Kid franchise, or Revenge of the Nerds, and I just don't like him much. It's one thing to be a sweet, caring and softhearted coward who is kind, but the conniving, dishonest kind is just the worst, no matter how old they are, or whatever excuses they have.

Despite a few cute moments, A Christmas Story is an irritating film that has insidiously become a Xmas classic. There are a few acute observations in how a child perceives the world; Ralphie daydreaming at the front of class & the Santa visit, were well-handled. Unfortunately, the film seems celebrate capitalism more than Xmas, seemingly sponsored by the NRA. The narration is overbearing & the plot is prone to bouts of melodrama. The score has a cheeky Prokofiev's Peter & the Wolf feel to it.

It gets a bad rap because of its near omniprescence during the holiday season, but A Christmas Story has many moments of shrewd observational comedy of the Garrison Keiller variety. It's a funny and sometimes dark look at the trials and tribulations of celebrating Christmas amid a constantly revolving cast of bullies, accomplices, parents, teachers, and rude mall Santas.

Charming but overrated Christmas film is a curious companion piece to Porky's in the sense that they are both episodic comedies set in the distant past told from an adolescent's POV. Unfortunately, the adult narrator is too 'knowing', and his running commentary of onscreen events frequently denies the viewer the pleasure of experiencing these childlike moments of joy and discovery more directly. On the plus side, Clark captures the era well, and Billingsley is perfect as Ralphie.

I've seen this movie countless times and the more I watch it the more unimpressed I am by it. The jokes are weak and overused with a plot that's aimless and doesn't really go anywhere. As it is a Christmas film, the central message is also immediately lame and cheesy. Still, there's a lot of charm in the film - the daydream sequences capture childlike imagination perfectly and there's a saccharine atmosphere to the film that makes it a cozy watch.

There are a few parts that drag a little, which hurt the movie's rating, but otherwise I really like it. I enjoy little Ralphie's wild imagination from Black Bart creeping in his back yard, to him schmoozing his teacher with his perfectly written theme...

Truth be told, the story is disjointed and the connecting tissue is thin; yet the charming nostalgic feel and magic of youthful excitement for the Christmas season are consistent. Most impressively it gets away with relying on a child actor to carry every scene in the movie over a wide variety of scenarios. Unfortunately A Christmas story only ages well until the last scene in the restaurant.

Here we have one of the most memorable and beloved of contemporary American movies. Every one of us cracks up each time, and tears up each time. We care about and totally get Ralphie and his folks. I think a big reason for that is that the often campy cartoon-inspired style perfectly realizes the larger-than-life worldview of a 9-year-old kid in a way that parodies it at the same time it reflects it faithfully.

Tediously childish and unfunny, but still strangely charming and warm. The imagination scenes work best.

Both warmly nostalgic and darkly humorous, A Christmas Story deserves its status as a holiday perennial.

An excellent film unfortunately being killed by marketing and cable television.

Wonderful movie to watch at Christmas time. A classic. Great plot and acting. Just a fun little movie about what happens to a family at Christmas time.

Affectionate, though overly precious evocation of the festive season of the 40s, sold mostly by the performers (with McGavin and Dillon delightful as Ralphie's parents). The film is far too episodic, and never quite gains enough momentum for it to be as compelling as it could be, and the occasionally condescending narration is a little off-putting, but as entertainment pitched at a younger crowd, it accomplishes middling success.

A Christmas Story is a simple, sweet movie without being too soft. For some reason it never was shown on TV where I live, so it has no nostalgia-effect on me, and yet I thoroughly enjoyed watching it for the first time. One of those rare Christmas films that is actually good.
