Ralphie Parker narrates stories from the period around the Christmas of the 1939, when he was 9-years old. Back then, his dream was to get a specific air riffle for Christmas, but everybody kept telling him that he was going to put his eye out with that thing.
This film is based on a 1966 book by Jean Shepherd. It remains a Christmas time classic for me. So many years later, the story is a bit dated, but such topics such as the dreams of youth and bullying are still pretty current. Overall, a fun movie to revisit during the holidays.
