A Christmas Story Ratings & Reviews
USA Today
David Elliott
A Christmas Story is numbly predictable.
New York Daily News
Ernest Leogrande
It's all in A Christmas Story, but it's as real as wax fruit.
Newsday
Leo Seligsohn
The film does its commercial best to dole out the requisite nostalgia without being too sticky. The result is a pleasant, undistinguished Christmas pudding spiced with humor and enriched by some good performances from the kids.
Keith & the Movies
Keith Garlington
Bob Clark's little Christmas movie "A Christmas Story" has vaulted into full Christmas Classic status.
The Cinematic Reel
David Gonzalez
For old timers like myself, the final scene of Ralphie sleeping with his Christmas prize will always hold true to me and brings back yearly memories of one of the easiest times of anyones life, their childhood.
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
An uproarious adaptation of Jean Shepherd's book In God We Trust, All Others Pay Cash.

Rachel Wagner
I think it is one of the best portrayals of childhood ever in the movies.
Patheos
Eve Tushnet
Just a tour de force of holiday agony, outrageous and hilarious.
Washington Post
Rita Kempley
It's a nostalgic comedy featuring a family of eccentrics who lovingly celebrate the holidays and life itself in Midwestern America in the 1940s.
Cinemaphile.org
David Keyes
It takes pause to recognize the collective good nature we owe to one another all year round, and pays that knowledge forward with charm and wistfulness.
Cinema Crazed
Felix Vasquez Jr.
Never boring, and holds up wonderfully to repeated viewings.
Christian Science Monitor
David Sterritt
It has a warmth and humor that soar with the season.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
[A] richly remembered tale of Christmas past.
People Magazine
Ralph Novak
It won't make anyone forget Miracle on 34th Street, but this is pleasant fare as far as holiday films go nowadays, which isn't very far.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
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.
Common Sense Media
Nell Minow
Wonderful antidote to saccharine holiday tales.
Decent Films
Steven D. Greydanus
With much affectionate humor, A Christmas Story recalls vividly what it was like to be a kid at Christmas in a more innocent era.
New York Times
Vincent Canby
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.
Austin Chronicle
Alison Macor
There are countless hilarious scenes in this film.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
There is a real knowledge of human nature beneath the comedy.
