MOVIE REVIEW: A Christmas Story Christmas

December 17, 2022 By Candy

Tis the season and it’s not Christmas without watching A Christmas Story, am I right? If watching A Christmas Story is a part of your holiday traditions, get ready to add A Christmas Story Christmas to your holiday-watching list. Yes, Ralphie is back!  Just as we have all grown up, he has also grown up and for this movie, we join Ralphie as an adult and father. The wonderful Peter Billingsley is back as Ralphie in A Christmas Story Christmas. Many thanks to our friends at Warner Bros and Boutique Publicity, for the opportunity to prescreen the film that everyone else will enjoy on November 17th, streaming on HBO Max. I also had the opportunity to speak with Billingsley, more on that below. Here’s my quick movie review on A Christmas Story Christmas.

“A Christmas Story Christmas” Holiday Tradition

“A Christmas Story Christmas” will be an addition to your holiday viewing. A film that most of us have enjoyed a few if not all holidays past now comes with a sequel. Bust out the fragile leg lamp. While it is not the original, “A Christmas Story Christmas” brings the charm and warmth only a holiday movie can bring and you can totally share it with your family with its PG rating.

The Gang Is Back Together

Yes, the film screams nostalgia. The fans of the original film will be happy to see familiar faces that have matured into adulthood. One of my favorite scenes in the film comes when Ralphie runs into the bad boy, Scut Farcus (Zack Ward) from the original and we all feel nervous about what is going to happen next! I won’t add too many spoilers in this post. But I was happy that his friends Schwartz (RD Robb) and Flick (Scott Schwartz), join Billingsley 30 years later to complete the film.

Bit of a Spoiler

This is a bit of a spoiler for you, but Ralphie returns home as a father and ultimately the father figure of the Parker household. Darren McGavin, who played “the Old Man,” died back in 2006, and while he is missed, viewers will still be able to feel his presence in this film.

Interview

Yes! I had the opportunity to speak with Peter Billingsley, and I totally got to ask the first question. Check it out on YouTube NOW!

About The Movie

From Warner Bros. Pictures and HBO Max comes the family comedy “A Christmas Story Christmas,” the long-awaited follow-up to annual holiday favorite, “A Christmas Story.” This time, Ralphie is all grown up and must deal with Christmas and all that comes with it…as a dad. Peter Billingsley returns to the role that has made kids of all ages anticipate Christmas morning like no other. Starring alongside Billingsley as Ralphie Parker is Erinn Hayes (“Bill & Ted Face the Music”) as Ralphie’s wife, Sandy; Julianna Layne (“Prodigal Son”) as their daughter, Julie; River Drosche (“Miracle Workers”) as son Mark; Scott Schwartz returning as Flick; RD Robb returning as Schwartz; Ian Petrella reprising his role as Ralphie’s brother, Randy; Davis Murphy (“Looking for Dr. Love”) as Delbert Bumpus; with Zack Ward returning as Scut Farkus; and Julie Hagerty (“Instant Family”) as Ralphie’s mom, Mrs. Parker.
