A Christmas Story Ratings & Reviews
- Brian VessNovember 22, 2025Great movie to get you in the holiday spirit. I grew up in this time.
- TomVaderJune 20, 2025This is one of those movies that is endlessly re-watchable (once per year), and a true Christmas Classic. It's funny, charming, and wholesome without feeling preachy or excessively campy. I'm not a big fan of Christmas, but I do enjoy the tradition of watching this movie during the holidays.
- Harvey23232003December 20, 2024This’s very reminiscently reflective of days gone, Oh so VERY long gone by!!
- mrmessmaJanuary 2, 2026Great kids/family movie minus a little language. Tons of classic scenes and endlessly rewatchable.
- DdoughnutDecember 21, 2025Bro, they probably could have gotten away with the actual f bomb as Beetlejuice came out 5 years later and had that word
- Brett WatsonDecember 29, 2025Grew up with this one and it’s a perfect Christmas film unless you’re fragile! So watch it I double dog dare you! It smiles at you!
- ErikthepaceDecember 25, 2025Absolutely 5 stars! It's actually 6/5 stars. This movie is absolutely timeless. I loved the silliness of it as a child, and now as a parent (and part time adult) the other references and struggles are just as great. Cannot recommend this film enough to anyone. It should also be stated that the TBS tradition to have 24 hours of it on Christmas day is my very favorite tradition of any television station.
- eaumaDecember 13, 2025Perfection wrapped in a fragile crate marked "FRA-GEE-LAY." A Christmas Story is the ultimate holiday comedy, a hilarious, heartfelt masterpiece that captures the magic and mayhem of childhood Christmases like no other film.
