A Christmas Story is like a Czech answer to the cult-classic Love Actually that impresses at first sight with its cast and the setting of Christmas in Prague. The storyline is a weaker take on the aforementioned classic: at first several separate stories gradually become more and more intertwined, until in the end it becomes one big tangle that doesn't impress, but doesn't offend either. Karel Roden didn't suit me well in a comedic role and Oldřich Kaiser's character seemed somewhat "schizophrenic", but in combination with Jiří Lábus it worked. The "casting" of Pierre Richard was really more for effect and the ending was unnecessarily cheesy. Christmas dullness for just one viewing!
