Plot |
Based on an autobiographical story by American humorist Jean Shepherd , A Christmas Story ranks as one of the funniest holiday tales on film. Set in a 1940s-era Midwestern town and told from the viewpoints of a nine-year old boy who only wants one thing for Christmas, a Red Ryder BB gun. The episodic tale chronicles not only his schemes to convince his mother and father to buy him one, but also offers a warmly nostalgic look into 1940s middle-class American life. With just the right mix of slapstick, gentle humor, satire and pathos, it is a film that has something to delight viewers of all ages. — Sandra Brennan |
