A wonderful story; at least for those of us who fondly remember the 80’s. To those criticizing this for ripping off A Christmas Story: What you call ripping off, I call “paying homage.” In much the same way that Stranger Things paid homage to movies like E.T., 8-Bit Christmas lovingly and respectfully honors ‘A Christmas Story’ by setting it in the late 1980’s and making it a far more relatable tale for those of us who grew up during the video game revolution. It’s one of the best movies I’ve seen all year. I will unashamedly admit to being a sucker for anything set in the 1980’s, and for us, it scores a home-run. The only thing that could have improved it, was to to set it seven years early, and replace the Nintendo with an Atari 2600. A boy can dream.
