Irish Cat Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Sequel? Shouldn't you say Threequel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irish Cat Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Even if the plot is good, I don't think it could hold up to the original simply due to the loss of Jean Shepherd as the narrator. Without him as writer, I'll have doubts about the plot as well.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was actually a sequel prior to that. Narrated by Jean Shepherd and Bob Clark directed. Called "My Summer Story" I think. Came out in the mid-90's.

The Raven Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 As mentioned, it had a sequel and it was terrible. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was also another one on the Disney Channel back in the 90's.  Ollie Hopnoodle's Haven of Bliss.  That actually wasn't too bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jumper_Dad Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 We watched "A Christmas Story Christmas" today. It was good, hit some nostalgic notes along the way. Watch the credits, as they show several still shots from the original and similar scenes from this one. BTW, Delbert Bumpus is awesome! Of course I might be biased. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy Parker Posted December 7, 2022 Author Share Posted December 7, 2022 We watched it Sunday. It was decent. Strongest part of the movie was building the story, basically, around the Old Man. It wasn't nearly the disaster I expected. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Raven Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 Saw it today and I was impressed.  Plenty of charm and homage to the original.  And it really tugs at the heart strings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluto Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 Watched it last night, and then a 2nd time this morning. WAY better than I was expecting. I thought the directing and editing decisions were excellent. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
