A Christmas Story Christmas on HBOMAX

Jordan2 · ‎03-16-2010

This is the sequel to A Christmas Story with a grownup Ralphie (Peter Billingsley) married with a family of his own. His mother is played by Julie Hagerty. Ralphie goes back to the home where he grew up and is determined to give his kids the best Christmas. You will see characters that were in the original. The sequel has the same tone as the original, is it as good as the original, of course not, but if you are a fan you should like this.

Loved that movie because Ralphie looked like one of my children.

A Christmas Story is just amazing and I never tire of watching it! I would like to see this one but I don't have HBO Max. Oh, well, maybe sometime down the line, I will get the opportunity.

I love A Christmas Story.

I tried to watch the grown Ralphie sequel, I tried. I gave up after 20 minutes -- it was so bad.

I'm clearly in the minority, but did not enjoy A Christmas Story.

I saw the new film last night, with my daughter and granddaughter. Our expectations were low but all three of us were pleasantly surprised. If you've seen the original a zillion times, as we have, it was nice to see so many of the original cast in this movie. There were several allusions to original plot lines so fans could enjoy revisiting some heartwarming and original themes. A Christmas Story Chistmas could never be as good as the original but we were pleasantly surprised that it was a good film, worth watching,

@Vivian- I agree with your assessment. I watched it on Thanksgiving night and also had low expectations, but was surprised. It wasn't as bad as some sequels and interesting that many of the original child actors returned as their characters. I enjoyed it and did not feel like it was a waste of my time.

@IslanderGirl62 well if you want to see it you'll have plenty of chances! I think both TNT and TBS run it starting Christmas Eve and all day Christmas. It's run on a loop over and over again with both stations having different starting times.
