The Wood County Committee on Aging is hosting film enthusiast Dr. John Blinn as he screens “A Christmas Story 2” at the Wood County Senior Center, 140 S. Grove St., Bowling Green, on Friday, Dec. 17, at 1 p.m.
The screening is free of charge to individuals of all ages. Complimentary popcorn will be served. Reservations are encouraged.
“A Christmas Story 2” is a 2012 American Christmas comedy directed by Brian Levant and starring Daniel Stern and Braeden Lemasters. The film is a sequel to the 1983 film, “A Christmas Story.”
The film takes place in 1946, six years after the events of the original film. Ralphie is now 15 years old, and all he wants is a used 1939 Mercury Eight convertible for Christmas. He tries out the car when he sees it on a display ramp. This causes the car to roll back out of the used car lot and gently tap a light pole. This in turn results in a plastic reindeer on the pole falling through the convertible top. Ralphie bands together with Flick and Schwartz to raise enough money to pay the dealer back for fixing the car before Christmas. He and his friends get a job at the Higbee’s store and end up getting into a fight with the store Santa. They all get fired. Ralphie does get his job back after some begging and pleading, but by Christmas Eve, he finds he is still $1 short.
