Parent reviews for A Christmas Story Christmas

Watched this with my 10 and 8 year old. They thought it was fine. But I thought there was WAAAAAY more alcohol than is appropriate for a family movie. We have beer in the house most days, and my husband and I will have one or two after dinner, so we’re not against drinking in general. But I feel like there was drinking in every other scene, blatant drunkenness in several. A good movie should only include details that add something to the story. So what was the point of adding so much alcohol? There is even a scene where the main character’s son is asked to help bartend. Inappropriate. There were several curse words, but none of them too terrible.

It started off to be ok. A little background about Ralphie 30 years later. When he got home was the disappointing part. The flashbacks were good. A lot of the original cast was there. The worse part of the movie was his Mother. What happened to the woman who was the backbone of the family. I thought they made her into sort of an well not to be mean but an idiot! The ending was good but I think the part of Mrs. Parker could have been played out better. Glad I have the original to go back to and watch over and over again.

Perfect and fun movie for kids
