The dry tone of the film in combination with the voice-over is very comical at times, but emotionally the pace of the film is therefore not very high. That makes a Christmas Story a bit of a fall through the cracks for me. In the end I just had to struggle through it a bit. What also surprises me is the extremely high score on IMDB. While I've never heard of this movie until this week.

2.5*

An original film in itself, with humor that is both curious and silly at the same time. But I was done with it after a while.

I understand the comparison with The Wonder Years, but this film never reaches that level.
