It Runs in the Family
In 'A Christmas Story' Ralphie raised the roof. This Summer, the whole family is bringing down the house.
Directed by Bob Clark
Produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer
A lighthearted summer family comedy that trades on nostalgia and domestic warmth, following the Parker family through a series of humorous, interconnected misadventures.
It is now summer in the Parker family; and the usual amount of numerous events are happening in their separate lives. Ralphie is searching for the perfect top to use to beat the school bully with, the Old Man is in battle with their hillbilly neighbors, the Bumpus, while eagerly awaiting the discovery of the perfect fishing spot, and the Mother is attempting to collect all of the pieces of a glass china set at a local movie theater.
