Almost unwatchable and has almost no resemblance to the original entry. If you ever wonder why people keep watching the same 10 Christmas movies every holiday season, it's because they try garbage like this and say "Okay. Let's **not** do that again."

Garbage from beginning to end, A Christmas Story 2 is a bastardization of a classic. Once again it’s Christmas time for the Parker family; after getting into a joyriding accident at a used car dealership Ralphie has to get a department store job in order to pay for the damages, meanwhile Ralphie’s father ice fishes for an inexpensive Christmas dinner. What makes this sequel so bad is how artificial and contrived it is. The acting and sets seem incredibly fake, and there’s no sincerity to the story. A Christmas Story 2 is a shallow and vapid film that insults the fans of the original.

Tries too hard to be like the original. Had some good moments, but I'd rather watch the original again rather than this.
