FRAGILE! ... Must be Italian

A Christmas Story Christmas

Amazingly enough, they got a huge chunk of the original cast including Peter Billingsley (Ralphie), Ian Petrella (Randy), Scott Schwartz (Flick), R. D. Robb (Schwartz), and Zack Ward (Scut Farkus).

Julie Hagerty obviously isn't an original cast member, but man has she changed. The only way I know she's in it is the IMDB listing. Been a while since Airplane.

Not overwhelmed by the trailer, but it's cute and has a hint of promise.

Looked like the kid got a nice little sword at about 1:30 in the trailer.

The trailer looks fun. I love "A Christmas Story" and watch it every year. It will be fun to watch them back to back.  =)

We WILL watch this one! LOVE the original! Worked for Brass Eagle who spun off from Daisy, the BB Gun people, and Christmas Story was considered the Company Christmas TV Show.
I might not last very long or be very effective but I'll be a real pain in the ass for a minute!

Scut Farkus!  What a rotten name.  He had yellow eyes!  So help me God, yellow eyes!

Bet they make him and Ralphie best buds in this.  Wouldn't be surprised if ol' Scut got married and took his wife's last name in this.

Wellllll.... not looking so good. Rotten Tomatoes audience score is a meager 37%. I was afraid of that.

On the other side, Blu-Ray.com gives it a solid 4.5/5.0 (minor spoiler alert)
