Yikes this was not good. I gave it an hour but just couldn't keep going. It leaned so hard on the exact scenes and characters and even actors of the original that it forgot the thing that actually makes the original work: Christmas through the eyes of a child. Christmas through the eyes of an adult Ralphie is not intriguing or magical. The narration only makes sense when it has the eyes of nostalgia and the unreliable narrator perspective of childhood.
Skip this and just watch 8-Bit Christmas, which is essentially A Christmas Story but set in the '80s. Or better yet, read the original stories the book was based on.
