Audience Member I've remembered when I saw it on lifetime back in 2014 & I would really wanna see it again which is I got it on Prime video for 99 cents when it's on sale.I would say it's a good coming of age Christmas film That I ever seen & it's worth watching. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Fun story; fell good movie. This reminds me of "A Christmas Story," especially with Chevy Chase's narration, as the adult version of a child character. Also, both movies take place around Christmas time. I always enjoyed Wally Lamb's books, and although I've never read the one this is based on, I imagine I would enjoy it as well. This film version is delightful. Some of the accents aren't great, but I can over-look that when the movie is so entertaining. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Extremely funny! Chevy Chase completes the movie with his narration. Anyone who was in school in the 1960's can identify with Lamb's humor Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
