Had the producers of "A Christmas Story" seen this before casting Peter Billingsley, I assume they would have picked some other kid for the lead.

"A Christmas Story" is a classic and many people see it each year during the holiday season. However, one of the best things about this movie is one of the worst things in "Massarati and the Brain" (not to be confused with "Pinky and the Brain").... Peter Billingsley. Young Peter is great in the Christmas film and just awful in "Massarati" and I think some of it is age and experience. But the biggest difference is that "Massarati and the Brain" is just very badly written and stupid.

Massarati is a guy who works with his partner, Brain to do private eye stuff. Massarati is the brawn and very young Brain (Billingsley) is sort of like Q...the guy who is a super-genius and builds all sorts of gadgets. Now, considering Brain looks like he's about 8 years old, this plot is pretty much impossible to believe unless you are a very young and impressionable child.

So is there anything I liked about this film? No. Is there any reason for you to watch the film? Well, if you are a masochist, yes...otherwise, no. It's badly written, pretty dumb and a waste of talent (Christopher Lee is in the film). Plus, who wants to see an action/adventure film involving an adult and a little kid?! It's pretty creepy now that I think about it in addition to being dumb.
