Customer Reviews of A Christmas Story (Full Screen Edition)
Be A Kid Again! I have loved this movie ever since I first saw it. It's one of the first videos I ever bought. This movie has captured how it feels to be a kid--dealing with bullies, friends' dares, little brothers, Christmas anticipation, teachers, broken glasses, disappointments, and fear of your dad when you're in trouble. Some things never change, I guess. I love Ralph's daydreams, his whiny little brother Randy who won't eat unless he can be a pig, and the pink bunny pajamas from Ralph's aunt Clara who "had for years not only perpetually labored under the delusion that [Ralph is] 4 years old, but also a girl."
Oh Fudge, wash my mouth out with soap (but please don't use LifeBouy)! There are a few bad words in the movie, but not many. It's limited to a couple of S.O.B.'s and a couple of smart-a**es. Most of the bad language in the movie is simulated. Because Ralphie's father swears all the time, Ralphie learns to swear. I think that is a good lesson for everyone. And who has not at least wanted to beat up a bully?
As a mother, I can understand the "irrational prejudice against Red Ryder and his Peacemaker". What I can't understand is the few people with irrational prejudice against this movie. It's just as cute as can be. See it with your family. I think just about everyone will enjoy it.
My Favorite Christmas Movie
"A Christmas Story" is easily my favorite Christmas movie. The only one that gives it a run for its money is "How the Grinch Stole Christmas". No, not the Jim Carrey one.
"A Christmas Story" is based upon the book by Jean Sheperd "In God We Trust, All Others Pay Cash". It relates the story of Ralphie Parker (Peter Billingsley), a young boy growing up in 1930s Indiana. All he wants for Christmas is an "official Red Ryder Carbine Action, 200 Shot, Range Model Air Rifle with a compass in the stock and this thing which tells time."
Of course his mom (Melinda Dillon), and seemingly every other adult he encounters, tells him that all he'll do is shoot his eye out. Ralphie spends a lot of time figuring out how he can convince his parents to buy him the gun.
Ralphie has other things going on too. He hangs out with his friends Flick (Scott Schwartz) and Schwartz (R.D. Robb), he avoids getting beat up by bully Scott Farcus (Zack Ward), and he listens regularly to the "Little Orphan Annie" radio show.
"A Christmas Story" brings back to mind those days when Christmas mattered for the sheer anticipation of getting presents, not having to go to school, and for being the center of attention. Ralphie is still at an age when he didn't know that the holiday season is a pressure filled time of the year. While the saying is that it is better to give than to receive, we all know that Christmas is never quite the same once we're expected to buy gifts too. "A Christmas Story" revels in that time when Christmas is just about having fun and getting presents.
