A Christmas Story Christmas (2022)
Didn't expect much - was pleasantly surprised.
I feel that the majority of these callback movies usually fall under the "Alright. Well I watched it" category. This one was actually really decent though. Nicely done - The characters were familiar and nostalgia was definitely all over the place.. but not done so heavy handedly that you just sat there waiting for that part to be over with. Feels like they did it right.
It has a good story with a lot of heart but not a ton of cheese. Don't get me wrong, some of the cutsey TV Christmas movies are my favorites to watch.. The problem is that they all feel like Hallmark fast food after a while. It was nice to just watch something with some quality of the original. It won't ever replace it by any means.. there's a reason it plays for 24 hours.
Will definitely watch it again - it'll fit in easily with the Christmas usuals.
The Christmas Contest (2021)
Better than expected.
If you love these movies, you'll love it. If you're wanting earth shatteringly new content, try something else.
Was cute. Not too cute. If you know what i mean. Thoughtful and decently done. I'd rewatch it.
