A charming sequel
A Christmas Story is probably THE most classic of classic Christmas films.
I'm not always for sequels, but A Christmas Story Christmas pulls all the nostalgia off nicely.
Much of this only works due to the commitment of quite a few of the original cast you know and love from the original film. Ralphie (Peter Billingsly) looks much the same and carries the sequel very well. Flick, Schwartz and even Farkus return.
While some of the situations are different in this 1973 setting, they manage to carry on the humor of the original and you'll definitely have a smile and a chuckle whichever of the generations you fit into.
