Besides this, the film has many subplots, like the confrontations with the neighborhood Scut Farcus. Randy, younger brother of Ralphie, always used to refuse to eat. His friend Flick gets his tongue stuck to the freezing lamppost on a triple-dog-dare; the parents fighting over a prize – a leg lamp. These scenes make the movie really memorable.
A Christmas Story is a comedy movie with a satirical touch and has a message at the end. But the movie did not do well in the box-office. Marketing of the movie was targeted at children and it did not work out for the movie. There is hardly any fault in the making of the movie.
