a christmas story be a holiday classic and my favorite movie . so naturally and i be elate when this movie come out in 1994. i saw it open day and be prepare to enjoy myself . i come away revolt and digusted . the anticipation that ring true in a christmas story be curiously miss from this mess . a red ryder bb gun be well to get than a chinese top . and it be not very funny at all . charles grodin be good but the buck stop there . bottom line represent1 star . don not even bother .
