Doesn't hold up very well

Don't get me wrong it's got some funny moments, but the whole film just feels disjointed and drags aside from a couple of moments. Not as good as I remembered it.

Easily the worst of the supposed Christmas classics

Eh. I wouldn't say it's as bad as Elf.

Your first post was suspect. This one proves you're either trolling or just have very poor taste.

A Christmas Story is a true classic and Elf is the only truly great Christmas movie of the 21st century.

Nonsense. You have nothing that supports your opinion.

Nah. It holds up just fine. Catch it every Christmas and it always puts a smile on my face.

It's my all time favorite Christmas movie and I still love it as much today as I did growing up in the mid 1990's

This movie just isn't very good. I don't get the attachment to it.

BASED ON YOUR POSTING HISTORY...I WOULD RECKON THERE ISNT MUCH THAT YOU DO FIND GOOD.🤔

Sounds logical.

I watched this film for the first time in 2021. I agree - the movie seemed to jump about and go in 5 different directions

Probably because Christmas is mainly done online now.
