I love Christmas movies - love them. However I had never seen A Christmas Story as I don't live in the US and it is rarely shown in my country - so I was happy to see it this year. I did not enjoy it at all. I don't think it holds up so I can only guess that the affection for it is driven by personal nostalgia. It's not the worst Christmas film I've ever seen - it's maybe that I've come to it as an adult and it is very much a children's film - except one in which today's kids wouldn't really recognise themselves in. It shows aspects of life that - far from being a nostalgic look at the good old days - make me glad I wasn't alive when this film was set. It's overriding message appears to be to acquire a new dangerous toy - where's the Christmas spirit? It's a no from me.
We've had insights into all the main characters lives away from the ground except Beard - until this episode. Seeing his sadness, doubts and regrets come out through MOTD and the journey he goes through has everything- funny, sad, metaphors, farce, pathos - you make it. It's review score is undeserved.
