A Christmas Story Is a Bad Christmas Movie

Story by Nicole Drum

Image from ComicBook.com

scrn logline

A scathing critique of the classic holiday film 'A Christmas Story', arguing it's a bad movie masquerading as a cherished tradition.

beat sheet

Author Nicole Drum claims the 1983 film has 'no Christmas spirit', is more about 'consumerism and guns', and features 'miserable' characters
Despite its 'vintage visual quality' and 'fake nostalgia', the film's 'flimsy consumerism story' doesn't deserve its status as a holiday classic
