Rating:  - Weak, poorly cast sequel to "A Christmas Story"

Rating: - Another touch of the midwest by Jean Shepherd
If you enjoyed "A Christmas Story", you'll love this story too. Different actors, same Jean Shepherd midwestern humor. Shepherd has a knack for telling the story of his childhood upbringing that is both nostalgic and humorous. Being a midwesterner myself, these stories are about as real as it can get.
Now if you can find it, try to also see "The Great American Fourth of July and Other Disasters." It too is a Jean Shepherd classic that you do not hear much about because it was made for ... Read More
