A Christmas Story 2 (2012)


Set 6 years after the first story, Ralphie is now a teenager and less interested in that Red Ryder air rifle and more interested in a Mercury Eight convertible and a girlfriend. A direct-to-video sequel (ignoring 1994's My Summer Story) that unfortunately squanders away all the goodwill from the original. At the very least, you've got Daniel Stern playing the Old Man, but the rest of the recasts don't exactly sit right with me. It's best to pretend this one doesn't exist at all (just like the subsequent film did).
