Small Details You Missed In A Christmas Story Christmas

What did you think of A Christmas Story Christmas?

[@bfettrules1239]

It was very good. Almost as good as the original.

@@mw4mpr that’s why I say wait a couple years. This all occurred with the first film. Got mediocre to downright bad reviews. It wasn’t until repeated viewings did you understand its genius. I think the same will be for this film.

[@TheMojaveCourier]

The ending was so cool! The fact that the entire narration from the original film is now revealed to be an obituary he did for his father is just AWESOME and gave me goosebumps when they revealed that through the transition

Love the part where the bully is now a cop

[@STho205]

That was my favorite part too. For all Ralph's terror, Scott was now going to do him a solid because he is now one of the good guys...despite his natural instincts that have transferred to his terrible sons.

[@LindaCooper-i3f]

Merely his stepping stone to joining the DEA after he arrests former sidekick Grover Dill (now the biggest narcotics kingpin in Indiana) along with his own kids who became employees of Grover’s. Sending his kids to prison not only leads to his divorce, but Scut Farkus goes on to battle other narcotics kingpins from The Bronx to the Rio Grande.

[@afriendofbean]

@Michael1986443 I agree, especially since Scut kind of told Ralphie that after Ralphie beat him up, that gave him a wake up call to stop bullying and it might have persuaded him to be a cop and be helpful in life and probably felt that he shouldn't have followed in his father's footsteps since he mentioned that his father was very strict on him.

[@sxymike12]

This movie pulls the heart strings, for a second movie in an age of horrible movies, sequels and remakes this was very well done

[@Thundergoddess]

I felt the love for the first one and that's what's important🥰

[@JBeck33]

Took a while to get going. But, it turned into a pretty solid follow up.

[@ChristmasKathy]

And because the fuse went out, Mrs. Parker found all the gifts left by Old Man Parker! Brilliant writing/ storytelling!😀

[@lothartheterrible]

That part absolutely wrecked me. Made me miss my dad so badly...

[@ChristmasKathy]

@@lothartheterrible I am so sorry! 💔🙏💔

[@LindaCooper-i3f]

9 times out of 10, the ghost of The Old Man obviously took the gifts from the trunk of the car at the hospital parking lot, and placed them in the basement for safe keeping.

[@joshuaa1605]

The first half of the move you're gonna feel like it's missing the mark. But the second half will make you fall in love with it.

[@kurtb8474]

Saw the movie and loved it!

[@theoriginalchefboyoboy6025]

would've been cool to have Ralphie watching late night tv and an episode of "Kolchak: The Night Stalker" comes on... and he does a breaks the fourth wall double take!

[@lonnahunter3388]

That would have been great !!

[@STho205]

Darrin MacGavin topped James Broderick's reaction to the leg lamp and its destruction....and James Broderick had done a great job in 1976. Yooooou ran out of glue on puuuurpose! Not a Finga! Was right out of Karl Kolchack fighting with police detectives and editors.

[@MoeJoe215]

An instant classic 🎄

[@steverogers7601]

The movie was not great but it didn’t suck. It had moments where the jokes didn’t land well, and many times where the acting was not good, and the nostalgia did a lot of the heavy lifting. Still, I loved it! Had so much fun with it and there was a lot of heart put into this. If anything, the pay off is the ending with how they honored both the old man and the original movie. Any fan of the first movie is going to enjoy this and I would absolutely recommend this to anyone who watches the 24hr marathon on TBS every year.

[@STho205]

Compared to last year's remake of The Homecoming...this was great. Boy did Kathy Ireland carve the soul out of "The Homecoming"

[@BoogeymanDracula]

couldve been better all the ingredients were there. The second half was great

[@bfettrules1239]

I was pleasantly surprised how great this film was. Maybe we’ll get a film when Ralphie is a grandparent?

[@richiefranklin76]

First movie :1940's Second movie 1970's Third movie : Early 2000's? Crazy when you think about it,but being born in the 1930's Ralphie is probably already dead by 2022. His kids in this movie would be in their 60's themselves.

[@zachhoward9099]

@@richiefranklin76 maybe have a third in the mid to late 80s?

[@LindaCooper-i3f]

Not half bad of an idea. Although, at least another twenty years is needed, time wise that is. By which time, Heaven only knows what has happened by then. Whereas, to really zing things about, Ralphie should at least find himself living across the street from Clark Griswold? Ofcourse, Julie is the teacher of Rusty’s kids. Mark on the other hand is now a business partner of Uncle Randy. However, in case Rusty’s son looks at a flirtatious salesgirl, the kid will be punished by having to watch either of the following movies: “BEN-HUR”, “KING OF KINGS”, or “THE GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD”. Afterall, didn’t Clark punish Rusty for looking at a salesgirl by forcing him to watch “IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE” in “NATIONAL LAMPOON’S CHRISTMAS VACATION”? If Ralphie is a grandparent, let’s just hope that his daughter-in-law has a preference for roast goose for Christmas instead of turkey 🦃?

[@afriendofbean]

@bfettrules1239 That would be nice to get another film but, maybe it might be hard because it would probably be the same movie repeating itself with Ralphie as a grandparent with his children having children of their own where it would have to have Ralphie's mom passing away since his father already passed away.

[@bfettrules1239]

@@afriendofbean his Mom would probably already pass away at that point. Just funny seeing one more story. First as a child, then, a man, & finally old age. Would be a great trilogy.

FYI, Homan is a subdivision in Hammond, Indiana

[@Iceman-km4yx]

And the Higbees was a real store. That particular location was in downtown Cleveland on Public Square (where those scenes were filmed). The house is also in Cleveland (and was recently put up for sale), even though the film is set in Indiana.

The Christmas story Christmas ending ties into the original Christmas story and it's so cool ties it both in together

[@dropbear4973]

I wasn't expecting much from a sequel, but I really did enjoy this.

[@dcsmooth]

The way you said BB gun gave me an instant migraine headache. 😖

[@keymaster430]

[@shooshatowers8059]

What they don't show is that the stolen Christmas gifts go to some poor children for their holiday, as gifts had already been provided for Ralphie's family.

[@fieryphoenix586]

I was very surprised by this movie. Was happy it wasn't just 90 minutes of throwback jokes and references to the original film, with cringy slapstick thrown in (like that other Christmas Story sequel), and almost all throwbacks were rather subtle. Was more like a Reunion Film, without becoming a Reunion Film with a rather touching send off to The Old Man, Darren McGavin.

[@glenbard657]

I haven't seen the movie because I don't have HBOMax. I have seen some of the previews and reviews and one thing I find pretty funny is that Scut Farkus still has braces. When I saw the thumbnail for this video I thought you'd talk about this in your video, but you didn't.

[@danbowie3020]

I was thinking the same. We're the bully's not in the movie?

[@alydematti]

He actually doesn’t still have braces, the picture from the thumbnail is from a scene where it cuts from present day Scut to the way we remember Scut from the original movie. Also, you should be able to do a free trial for HBOMax so you can watch the movie!

[@LindaCooper-i3f]

Merely CGI on those dental braces. Besides, I got a good feeling that one of these days, the Farkus kids will join the narcotics ring run by their dad’s old friend Grover Dill, when they get into high school. Eventually, Scut sends them to prison along with Grover, but the arrest of his kids strains his marriage, and he eventually leaves the Hohman PD for a career with the DEA taking other narcotics kingpins from The Bronx to the Rio Grande.

[@supamariosoniku]

FIRST! ☝🏾💪🏾

[@pantera89]

[@nans969]

I was pleasantly pleased with this one. Because it was an actual sequel to the 1st movie. Normally when a movie that was originally shown on a big screanor a TV show that was a hit, studios try ride that as long as they can.

[@crazykittylady6226]

It's going to be so fun to watch although the end will be depressing 😔 it's very thoughtful of Ralphie to keep his elderly Mom living with him and his Family. He such a wonderful loving Son. Maybe my Brother will watch this movie too, that would be wonderful since it's our favorite childhood Christmas movie 🙂😊

[@Ira88881]

Small details we missed? Are you guys kidding? You really don’t know this movie like us Yanks know it. Not only did they have to hammer in these poorly done comparisons to the original film…they were obvious and distasteful…but you’re wrong about more than a few others. Ralphie’s dad was far from trying to create the perfect Christmas for the family. He was just average. That’s how most of us Dads are in America. The movie basically sucked. The worst script, directing and acting ever. Farkus was the one bright point in the entire movie.

[@laurenarndt464]

Some movies just shouldn't be made into sequels. I guess these actors need the work.

[@DanielS2001]

I wonder if they'll ever do a follow-up to this one that is a follow-up to My Summer Story (aka It Runs in the Family).

[@afriendofbean]

@DanielS2001 They did do the movie "A Christmas Story 2" which is a film that happened after the events of "A Christmas Story" and "My Summer Story" and before the events of "A Christmas Story Christmas."

[@stephenhassol6960]

We're Ralph lil brother Randy

[@STho205]

The latest Jean Shepard movie was very enjoyable, and the ending was similar to Big Fish. "A Christmas Story" screenplay is a digest of several chapters of Ralphie in his teens consolidated into the chapter that was solely about 10 yo Ralphie wanting a BB gun. Several of the elements had already been done on PBS in the mid 70s...including the Leg Lamp which was won from Orange Neehi soda (the flapper leg was their logo). Flick and Schwartz...their dads....the tongue on pole....Scott Farkus....none of that was in the original written and radio delivered story...but was in others. Randy's zeppelin and the bunny suit was in the original story. Might I suggest: The Phantom of the Open Hearth. The Great American 4th of July and other disasters. Ollie Hoopenanies. A Summer Story (Charles Groden and Mary Steenburgen) which is another digest.

All of the bubble lights on the tree are upside down. 🎄

[@larrydickman6016]

I really like this movie, but there are a few things I didn't care for. ---Ralphie and his wife are alcoholics. ---When they try to explain that Santa basically wasn't coming, the boy had a hissy-fit and storms off. If I had done that when my dad's father died a day or 2 earlier, one of my parents would have 'taken me behind the woodshed' and explained the situation to me without saying a word. (wink wink) ---Ralph is doing his writing in the attic. In the attic where there is no heat or insulation. But, other than that, and the ramp thing which was kinda dumb watching all the drunks on sleds, this movie complements the original.
