I couldn't decide if I wanted to watch this or not. The original is my all-time favorite Christmas movie and, let's face it, sequels are usually horrible. My friend finally convinced me to watch it and I'm SO glad I did! The end had me in tears, in a GOOD way! You won't be disappointed!

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice to have a sequal, but could have been so much better...

Good movie, but could have been a lot better. Nothing is going to hold a candle to the original. This one feels more like a made-for-TV movie sequel. There are some good moments in the writing, but it feels rushed and not well thought through. Where the original was more serious in the real world portions, this one is much sillier all around - to an unrealistic point. One of the highlights is having a lot of the original actors. Even so, the grown up kid characters seem under-used. The replacement actress for Mom Parker doesn't fit at all. It's worth watching and I'm glad to have in my Christmas movie library. For perspective from a family that LOVES the original; some of my family loved it, I enjoyed it but feel it could have been so much better, and my Mom completely hates it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good movie.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Honest Review

M.A. · December 26, 2023

I feel compelled to write a review for Bolo about A Christmas Story Christmas. First, I should state that I am a big fan of the original movie. And that is an important disclosure because it sets the bar incredibly high for any type of sequel in my view. In fact, I saw A Christmas Story 2 and I won't be wasting any of my time writing a review for that movie. In contrast, this movie was thoughtful, respectful to the original, and undeniably heartwarming. I watched it once last year. But I finally found the time to catch it this year and I found myself wet eyed while watching it twice this evening. That’s right, this movie improved with time for me. I thought it was good last year, but it “aged” particularly well over the past year in my mind and any movie I’ve ever watched a second time a year or more later that seemed better than the first time I watched it, has that rare “it” for me. The magic to pull humor, empathy, and bittersweet emotions into a world dating back to the mid 70’s is a world that you’ll want to be drawn into. At least I did and I was happy to take the journey. A movie that seems oh so familiar because you’ve seen the original countless times – do yourself a favor, buy the movie. Watch it with other fans of the genre. You’ll be glad you did. I lost my old man 7 years ago and he definitely had similarities with Ralph’s Dad. That makes this movie all the more poignant to me. I want to thank anyone who had a hand in making this film. It is now solidified as one of my personal favorites. Is it perfect? No. But it hits all the notes it needs to hit and does so effortlessly. A sequel that waited nearly 40 years to launch and I dare say - worth the wait. Bravo!

Perfect dvd

Très bon film qui vient compléter la trilogie Une histoire de Noël. De bons vieux souvenirs des us coutumes de la vie d'une famille traditionnelle. Je le recommande. Dommage que le deuxième fil ne soit pas en français

Well worth the purchase

I loved the original movie and so took a chance on this sequel and I was not disappointed. My husband loved it also.

Worthwhile watching--but the first part and the books are even better!

S. · March 24, 2025

The first part of "A Christmas Story" (1983) is simply too good for this sequel. It was a wonderful statement about growing up in a time in the US when people were unemployed in the Midwest but not poor. And it captured Ralphie's and his family's and friends' hassles so well and in such a humorous way that is no longer a part of contemporary American movies. A Christmas Story 2 (2022) is definitely a nice and funny film--but too sentimental compared to the first one. I loved, though, that all the actors from the first part were aboard again (except for the father, of course) about 40 years later, especially since I am Ralphie's/Peter Billingsley's age. And I can also recommend to read Jean Shepherd's books (that's what the two films are based on)--believe it or not, they are even funnier than both films together and no sentimentality.
