Time Out
Kids and guns, you can't go wrong with that combination. It adds up to a film that is sweet and sappy, yet still entertaining.

...There are many small but perfect moment in A CHRISTMAS STORY....There is a real knowledge of human nature beneath the comedy...
Chicago Sun-Times
Just a tour de force of holiday agony, outrageous and hilarious.

...[A] modern-classic telling of Jean Shepard's '40s-based Midwest yarn...
USA Today
There are a number of small, unexpectedly funny moments in A Christmas Story, but you have to possess the stamina of a pearl diver to find them.

Rating: A+ --
I think it is one of the best portrayals of childhood ever in the movies.

Product Description:
This vignette-laden, nostalgic view of Christmastime in 1940s Indiana follows nine-year-old Ralphie, who desperately wants a Red Ryder BB Gun for Christmas--and is waging an all-out campaign to convince his reluctant parents that the toy will be safe in his hands. By turns warped and winsome, the comedy follows Ralphie as he prepares for the big day with his rather idiosyncratic family. Based on the novel by humorist Jean Shepherd (who also narrates the film), A CHRISTMAS STORY gained popularity long after its theatrical run, through frequent holiday broadcasts that turned its schoolyard "triple-dog" dares, family neuroses, and childhood indignities into a Yuletide tradition.
