As it's nearly December, we watched A Christmas Story Christmas. As a big fan of the original, I think this works really well; it's great that, nearly 40 years on from the first film, so many of the actors are back, including Peter Billingsley as Ralphie. The late Darren McGavin was great in the first film, so he's missed this time, although I think they've written around that in quite a clever way. The film basically ignores A Christmas Story 2, and plays as a direct sequel to the original, and there are plenty of nice references to the earlier film. If you like the first film, it's definitely worth giving this one a look.
