A Christmas Story Live! Reviews

Movie Reviews

• although the cast is quite appealing and the show well staged (with hardly a hiccup or blooper), it couldn't liven up the flat material. A three-hour runtime made it a slog, and the musical was overstuffed with songs

  by Kelly Lawler [USA Today ]

• a disappointing three-hour event

  by Sonia Saraiya [The Hollywood Reporter ]

• "A Christmas Story," the film, is a sort of antidote to treacly nostalgia, with its at times quite rueful look back at the pain of growing up

  by David Rooney [The Hollywood Reporter ]

• "A Christmas Story Live" misses the light fun of the holiday classic

  Review rate : B- by Darren Franich [Entertainment Weekly ]

• "A Christmas Story Live!" lacked the feeling of a piece of theater unfolding in front of the audience's eyes in real time, like a slick magic trick

  by Noel Murray [New York Times ]
