Comfort and Joy...Maybe Next Year. Features: DVD, Widescreen, English, French, Spanish, Subtitled The Christmas spirit isn't served up with more observant hilarity than in this beloved adaptation of Jean Shepherd's holiday story. In 1940s Indiana, nine-year-old Ralphie (Peter Billingsley) dreams of his ideal Christmas gift: a genuine Red Ryder 200-shot Carbine Action Air Rifle. But when gruff dad (Darren McGavin) and doting mom (Melinda Dillion) regularly respond with "You'll shoot your eye out!" Ralphie mounts a full-scale Santa-begging campaign. He encounters a slew of calamities from snowsuit paralysis to the dreaded tongue-on-a-frozen-flagpole gambit. We triple-dog-dare you to unwrap a more welcome Yuletide classic! "Here is a movie to treasure, to throw your arms around and hug." Chicago Daily Herald"The cast is wonderful...the laughs nonstop and the whole thing deserves to become a Christmastime classic. A must see." Motion Picture Guide"Fun for everyone." VideoHound's Golden Movie Retriever"A classic." Christopher Smith, Chicago Tribune"Charming. Consistently funny. Full of delightful, recognizable episodes." Danny Peary, Guide for the Film Fanatic"...an instant classic, a film that will give pleasure to people not only this Christmas, but for many Christmases to come." Jay Carr, Boston Globe"Shepherd narrates in the first person and Billingsley portrays him (delightfully) as a boy. Truly funny for kids and grownups alike..." Leonard Maltin's Movie & Video Guide"The cast is wonderful...the laughs are nonstop...and the whole thing deserves to become a Christmastime classic." TV Guide Editor's Note This vignette-laden, nostalgic view of Christmastime in 1940s Indiana follows nine-year-old Ralphie, who desperately wants a Red Ryder BB Gun for Christmas--and is waging an all-out campaign to convince his reluctant parents that the toy will be safe in his hands. By turns warped and winsome, the comedy follows Ralphie as he prepares for the big day with his rather idiosyncratic family. Based on the novel by humorist Jean Shepherd (who also narrates the film), A CHRISTMAS STORY gained popularity long after its theatrical run, through frequent holiday broadcasts that turned its schoolyard "triple-dog" dares, family neuroses, and childhood indignities into a Yuletide tradition.

Brad Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 Keep in mind that this version is the HD-DVD (and it's not a dual-format version), so it won't play in regular DVD or Blu-ray players.
