There is no other Christmas movie that both captures the adolescent joy and adult horror that comes with the holiday season than A CHRISTMAS STORY.
This film version of the childhood memoirs of Jean Shepard is a painstakingly accurate depiction of Midwestern middle-class suburban life told through the eyes of little eight-year-old Ralphie, who wants nothing more than a Red-Ryder BB Gun to make his Christmas dreams come true. But as the months of November and December pass, we are also viewers of his home life and his brilliantly subjective take on it.
A CHRISTMAS STORY is so much more than a great Christmas movie, but the commercialised sentimentality that is forced on us during this time of year makes its unabashed sincerity that much better.
