A Christmas Story 2

actually there are 7
do people realize there are 7 movies about this family. so it's not like this is some sort of thing that noone should touch. it fact many were done before Christmas Story, and noone really complained about the others. then again i guess the titles of the other weren't Christmas Story. that alone I guess will get people in a huff. I won't give it more or less then 3 stars tell i see it, cause i like to stay objective.

the others btw are:

1976 - The Phantom of the Open Hearth - Ralph is attending the prom. Yes, the TV films were all about a teenage Ralphie. This one also gives us the original film versions of the leg lamp story and the Orpheum dish-night fiasco, and the amusing build-it-yourself house story. It's my least favorite of the Ralphie films to watch though, because it's a bit depressing and probably the hardest to acquire a good copy of today, but still very enjoyable. Never released officially on VHS or disc. Ralph is played by David Elliot here, and...

Son of a bi---!
I had really low expectations for this movie due to all the negative reviews on here, but let me tell you they were all wrong! Now let's be truthful, nothing will ever come close to the original, because it is such a classic, but this will be as close as you could possibly get. This movie has plenty of laugh out loud moments, from the ice fishing to the resurrection of the lamp. Daniel Stern was great, he is always hilarious and this movie is no exception.

Sit back and be prepared to laugh, ALOT!!

This ain't your daddy's Christmas Story..
Being a straight-to-video release, my expectations were LOW going in, so I was actually kinda suprised that I actually enjoyed it, but I agree with a previous reviewer - the overuse of the phrase "Son of a B**ch" really got things off to a bad start. I figured this would be a good clean family movie but after they dropped the S.O.B. bomb 2 or 3 times in the first minute or two of the movie I just turned it off and waited for the kids to go to bed. I don't have a problem with the language if it's done tastefully - in the first movie it was funny because a kid said it and it was just kind of spontaneous and unexpected, in this movie they did it just because they did it in the last one - the original has a few other choice phrases in it that either the wife or I know to "bleep" out with a well timed cough or two. But anyway, like I said I wasn't expecting this to be anywhere near the quality of the original movie. There were some laugh out loud moments and the story has a lot of...
