Summary: Harmless Family Enjoyment
Review: I have seen the movie "A Christmas Story" at least a hundred times. It's fun for the whole family. Totally harmless and pure enjoyment, it tells the story of nine year old "Ralphie" and his wish for a coveted Red Ryder BB Gun in the 1940's. It will have you rolling on the floor with laughter. Make a big bowl of popcorn and some hot chocolate and gather the family together. I give it 5 stars.

Summary: THIS IS THE ALMIGHTY CHRISTMAS CLASSIC!
Review: This is a Christmas must for me. And every Christmas I watch TNT's 24 hour presentation of this hilarious comedy classic. It cracks me up. The leg lamp, the "you're going to shoot your eye out" scenes, the toungue getting stuck to the pole. Oh, there is so many scenes that crack me up. Well, anyways. Everyone has seen this wonderful, touching, hilarious Christmas film. And if you haven't...you must!

Summary: "I want an official Red Ryder BB Gun"...!
Review: This film is one of the best Christmas films for anyone whose always wanted that special something for Christmas. Ralphie is a boy whose hoping for the ultimate gift-a red ryder bb gun. The whole month he tries to persuade his parents to get it for him, while at the same time dealing with his annoying little brother, avoiding the town bully, and constantly dreaming of owning the red ryder. Though this movie has little swearing, the storyline and screenplay, along with the outrageous humoor make this a very good movie. Five stars.

Summary: A Christmas Treasure
Review: This is by far the best family Christmas movie ever made. There are plenty of fine holiday movies, and I like most of them, but this one has a special place in my heart. It is fun, and really quite humorous. The late Jean Shepherd wrote a masterpiece in this movie, and he was excellent as the narrator -- reminiscent of The Waltons, only funny. It's a holiday classic that should be in the video library of every family. To listen to sound clips from this movie, go to wilstar.com/xmas.

Summary: Instant Smile
Review: This is one of the funniest Christmas movies that I have ever seen and is a "must see" in my home. It gets played over and over throughout the Holidays and is even watched when it's on TV. Flick's tongue on that flagpole gets me going every time

Summary: Christmas, in the wonderful mind of a nine year old.
Review: I'm no movie critic, so my review won't be profound nor long. This movie is truly wonderful in its truth and simplicity. I am a fifty-one year old man who grew up geographically, culturally, and time-period wise, parallel with Ralphie, the central character and 1st person narrator of the movie. And, I remember well what it was like to be nine years old then and there. The pain, the fears, the frustrations, the unknowingness, the dreams and hopes are all so real yet so incredibly funny. Anyone who has livied within a large family will recognize the Xmas scenes where the neighborhood dogs enter the house and carry away the Xmas turkey and how the family is forced to have Xmas dinner in a Chinese restaurant with the restaurant staff attempting to sing Xmas carols with their delightfully funny Chinese accent. Culturally, in the midwest in the late forties and early fifties, only a Chinese restaurant could be found open in a small midwest town on Xmas Day.I recommend this movie to anyone who ever was a young boy or who knows a young boy. It is delightful!

Summary: A true family christmas
Review: I watch this movie and I am somewhere between 7 and 9 years old. The charm, warmth and humor of this movie is the key. I can here my parents arguing over the tree. Who cooked the best turkey. Who let the dog in the house. Who messed with the furnace. (We had a nasty one you continually had to go push the reset button and as a kid it was scary. As an adult I still fear that furnace.) I wanted Hop a Long Cassidy Holster and a BB gun. I got the holster, my cousin got the BB gun, afterall he was a boy. What can I say I love it and rewatch it every year over and over again. "don't shoot your eye out" Merry Christmas

Summary: "A Christmas Story"
Review: This is quite possibly the funniest movie I've ever seen. My holiday season officially begins the first time I watch "A Christmas Story". The movie features wondefully comedic writing, especially in the very effective narrative framework as Peter Billingsley's character "Ralphie", now grown, describes the events and characters leading up to the Christmas he receives his first Red Ryder BB Gun, the highlight of his young life. Darren McGavin is hilarious as Ralphie's dad, and everytime I see "Kenny" on "South Park" I think of the little brother all bundled up in his snowsuit and parka trying to keep up with the big boys. It's a wonderful family movie. Anyone who watches it can see a piece of their own childhood in the film--the Bumpas' dogs, the bully Scott Farkas, the admonition that a toy will "shoot your eye out." It's beautiful. Watch, rent, buy this movie. You won't regret it. And don't take any triple dog dares involving flag poles!

Summary: Absolutely Hilarious
Review: My family and I watch this movie every year, several times around the Christmas Holiday. It warms you up for the holiday and will have you rolling on the floor laughing. Peter Billingsly's scheming little Ralphie character is wonderful. The narration makes the movie and the bumbling Father with his hound dog and boiler wars is a total crack up. The Mother is the kind of cool/quirky mom all kids would want to have. Even though it appears on television frequently, you must watch it on video. A LOT is removed for television!
