Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
[A] richly remembered tale of Christmas past.
– Michael Wilmington,
Chicago Tribune,
4 Dec 2013
fresh:
Shepherd provides the voice-over of the grown hero narrating, and his prominence on the sound track forces Clark to focus on visual humor, resulting in some wild Our Gang-style slapstick.
– J. R. Jones,
Chicago Reader,
5 Dec 2012
fresh:
If you're a fan of Christmas movies or films that use nostalgia as a driver, A Christmas Story cannot be missed. Then again, if you're in either category, you have probably already seen it.
– James Berardinelli,

fresh:
Delightfully entertaining, with a wryly amusing narration to keep the adults in the audience smirking.
– Don Peretta,

rotten:
There are a number of small, unexpectedly funny moments in A Christmas Story, but you have to possess the stamina of a pearl diver to find them.
