Christmas Story 2 Doesn’t Exist
There’s never been a sequel to The Christmas Story. You may have seen a movie you THOUGHT was Christmas Story 2, but there never was a Christmas Story 2. Daniel Stern never tried to replace Darren McGavin. There’s never been a Christmas Story sequel that shovels every memorable moment into the sequel just because. There’s never been a Jean Shepard soundalike that would fit right at home with a video game version of the film.I know the filmmakers were trying hard but let’s be honest, was this film really necessary? I mean, I’m sure there was a love and devotion to the film because they were huge fans of the original but if that’s the case, everyone should just make their own spin on Christmas Story 2. That’s what it seems like anyway.
The film takes place with Ralphie in his teen years. I will say one good thing that they did pick a decent Ralphie. Heck, I even liked Flick and Schwartz in this. Ralphie wants a car for Christmas as opposed to the Red Rider BB Gun. There’s a miss opportunity here where instead of “You’ll shoot your eye out” it could be something like, “You can’t drive, kid” or something to that effect. Then Ralphie ends up damaging the car and the car owner wants him to pay for it so he and his friends go get demeaning jobs.
The problem with this movie is that it’s not nearly as fun as Christmas Story. It tries hard, but it doesn’t succeed. Ralphie even has these imagination sequences that seem too juvenile for someone at his age. They refer to Christmas Story like it was last year when it’s supposed to be years later. Wouldn’t they be talking about a different Christmas by now? It’s just not very good. Oh, and Daniel Stern (as good as an actor he is) just comes off as annoying and I can’t see The Old Man anywhere in him.
I’ll end this review on a good note though. The love interest is insanely hot. I see Ralphie has good tastes. Unfortunately how he talks to her at the end is shoehorned in and– OK I’m trying to end on a good note here. The girl is gorgeous. That is all.
You can’t go home again
Here’s proof that you can not go home again . This film is totally heartless and soulless….so pale in comparison to the original which has evolved into a modern day classic. There is good reason this film went straight to video. Please do not waste your money on it. I had a cheap rent from amazon.com. I thought it might cheer me up …having the flu and all.Back is our Ralphie now at 15 and he wants a car for Christmas. The old man will not spend 40 cents per pound for a turkey so he is involved in some subplot to catch a fish for Christmas dinner. Part of the problem with this video is the incredible number of subplots…each more uninteresting as the others; including a candy cane fight at Higbee’s, a Santa who walks out on the job, poor Randy getting dressed up in tons of layers to go outside, and a love interest for Ralphie. Even the “leg lamp” shows up for an encore.
A Christmas Story 2 looks like one of those made for TV films on SYFY or Lifetime. The sets are cardboard…but then again so is the acting. It makes “The Santa Clause 3 and 4 look like art films. Costumes are barely period. I dare you…I double dog dare you…to watch the preview. You will see exactly what I mean.
Someone was out to make a buck. But then, that is what Christmas is all about.
