Anachronisms: When Leopold Doppler (Glenn Shadix) is being pelted by the gravy boats, he shouts "Rosebud" from Citizen Kane (1941) and "Top of the World, Ma!" from White Heat (1949). However neither of these films were released at the time the movie was supposed to take place, the summer of 1940. more

A funny movie, while not as good as A Christmas Story, it has it's own silly feel and manages to stay in the same mold as its predecessor. So if you liked A Christmas Story, you'll probably enjoy this one as well, even if you've watched A Christmas Story your entire life :)
