This film is full of nostalgia without being a straight up copy of the original however it does follow a few similar plot points.
This movie does retain a Christmas feel and I feel that if I watch it every year with the original I will grow to appreciate it it even more.
The only thing I think is missing is Melinda Dillion as the mother. Julie Hagerty is too bubbly to play the mom and is a little distracting as mother Parker but she handles the role as well as anyone could but Melinda Dillion would have make the movie almost perfect.
A lot of the original cast returns and the story is thought out well. I really think they nailed Ralphie and his current life ambitions.
Some critics hate this movie. I suggest you ignore them. This is how a good sequel is done!
