I watch it yearly with my little brother and dad (who grew up in the 1980s). The cultural references are accurate, the writing is funny, the acting is good, and the message is super wholesome and feels organic within the plot.

Imo it’s better than A Christmas Story, or at least feels like a spiritual successor to it.
