As an 80s kid myself, this movie hit me right in the feels. It captured the era well, especially in relation to the longing many of us had for Nintendo, cabbage patch dolls and anything that wasn’t a Light Brite! As has been said on here already, it is a lot like A Christmas Story with its sense of nostalgia and great sense of humour. A heartwarming delight.

Surprisingly well done. I'm a little old for the Nintendo (I was more of the Atari era) but you can relate to the kids and the time, nonetheless. Fun flick. The parents, in particular, were well played.

I enjoyed this a lot. Nostalgic and fun. With good family undertones. This was a great Christmas movie without too many gratuitous gimmicks. The twist was good too which is not easy in such a standard mold.

Even though I pretty much saw it coming, the end still hit me pretty damn hard. Well played.
