"It's a Wonderful Life" isn't too overrated generally (although it's not an extremely high-quality movie, anyway).

But, it is definitely overrated as a "Christmas movie". Because it is NOT.

It's a Wonderful Life was fine. For the first couple of screenings.

It was not overrated, when other movies from that era were still being broadcast. But when it seems that the only movie, from that era, worth seeing is "It's a Wonderful Life", it has become very overrated.
