Summary: Where's the Tylenol?
Review: We LOVE this movie. It is a classic. There are so many great lines and scenes. We howl when the turkey falls apart and we quote the tylenol question often. "Don't fall in love with it" and "it's a bit nipply" We watch this movie every Christmas eve after Santa arrives.

Summary: Yes, It's A Classic!
Review: I've watched this at LEAST once (usually two to three times!) every year since it came out and I love it! It has no dull moments, it's completely relevant, and it never fails to get to me till I'm in pain from laughing! I'd call that a "Classic!"

Summary: 5 stars for the movie, 1 for the DVD
Review: So here we are with the holiday season upon once more and Warner have still denied us a widescreen release of this movie. Buying it would only confirm to them that non-OAR movies sell so I have never considered it. Too bad, it's a great movie.
With a strong John Hughes script, an ace comic performance from Chase and onslaught of jokes and quotable dialogue this is best of the "Vacation" series. This time the Griswolds are staying at home in the snowy suburbs of Chicago and are preparing for the `best Xmas ever' as Clark has been dreaming of a `good ol' fashioned family Xmas all his life'. But it's not that simple. The in-laws hate each other, brother and sister are forced to sleep together, there's no Xmas bonus (not a good one anyway) and the hick cousin imposes in an impromptu `surprise' visit. It seems like a disaster waiting to happen but there is no waiting. Just disaster as everything that can go wrong...does. And them some. But the ever-delusional Chase will not let any little mishaps sway his optimism. The suburban-American Xmas atmosphere is captured perfectly and snow covered scenery gives the impression of a very cosy Xmas. Watch this film during advent, I guarantee it will be to your festive benefit. Did I say that Randy Quaid is just hilarious in this movie? Cousin Eddie are one and the same person. It's a miracle performance. Too bad that miracle doesn't extend to this DVD.

Summary: A Christmas Classic!
Review: The film that inspired a whole generation of exterior illuminators! Subsequent to the release of this film, houses soon began Christmas-light makeovers, which I think really adds to the atmosphere of the season! Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo are superb in this John Hughes classic Christmas comedy - as is Randy Quaid. Clark W Griswold Jnr is anxious to have the 'perfect' old fashioned, fun, family Chritmas. But, as usual, nothing goes according to plan: Getting stuck under a truck in the opening minutes... becoming psychotic over the failing of the thousands of lights he's added to the building... ruining the Christmas of Tod and Margo (their yuppie, bourgesois next door neighbours)...Eddie (Quaid) kidnapping Clark's boss because Clark didn't recieve his bonus cheque, needed to pay for a swimming pool...a storm sewer exploding (and the poor cat!)...the tree getting burnt...etc...Leading to the house teetering on 'the threshold of Hell'! There are many great moments in this movie. My personal favourite is when he takes Eddie and the kids sledging: a silicone-based kitchen lubricant Clark's company invented is smeared onto his sledge, propelling him like a rocket! The scenery is so Christmassy here. I have a selection of Christmas movies I stack around the video at this time of year. Christmas Vacation takes prime position. I have seen it *so* many times yet I am still not bored with it. Note: There is mild bad language in the PG version, but for those with younger children, some versions have worse. I really don't know why Hughes had to do this; this film could be accessible to all, as with Miracle On 34th Street (Hughes' remake). As is usual with John Hughes, those typical huge mansions (as with Home Alone, Ferris Bueller and Uncle Buck) feature. The photography is very Christmassy and it just might get you in the mood... The DVD has the trailer (including the other Vacation trailers), different language options, production notes etc... I am glad to have found a site that sells those reindeer egg nog glasses too!

Summary: National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
Review: One of the funniest Christmas Movies I have ever seen!
My main beef is that it is not available in Widescreen format. When is everyone going to get it that Widescreen will be the ONLY format one day, all DVD's should automatically have widescreen. End of Discussion!

Summary: This is a New christmas classic.
Review: I don't think that this movie will ever take the place of The christmas Story but it is still an enjoyable movie.
All Clark Griswold wants is a nice family christmas..with a presents and family with a declious christms dinner and just a perfect family get together..and he gets it right....come on were talking about clark griswold and the Griswold clan not the brady bunch. Everything that could go wrong does and i mean everything. this movie is a family movie that will make you bust out laughing....it also makes you hope that your family get together won't go as bad as the griswolds.

Summary: Untrue!
Review: The movie gets 5 stars, but 1 star is subtracted for it being in "full" screen. In fact, "full" screen sliced off nearly half the movie from the left and right sides, to make it a 4:3 picture. What you see is only half the movie! If only we could watch the movie in it's original glory...

Summary: Ho! Ho! HO!!
Review: Clark Griswold is the quintessential "boy who never grows up," an idealistic dreamer with sky-high expectations and wide-eyed innocence. Anticipating a hefty bonus from his employer, he places an order for a swimming pool, invites his parents and in-laws to his home, and eagerly looks forward to enjoying an old-fashioned "family Christmas." Of course, everything goes horribly wrong--the tree, the lights, family squabbles, snooty neighbors, a coldhearted boss and an unexpected visit from Cousin Eddie (Randy Quaid is priceless). All of the mayhem wears on poor Clark until he finally snaps...the result of his "breakdown" is complete comic bliss. This Griswold saga is second only to the original "Vacation" as the funniest movie in this series. Next time you feel overwhelmed by the "stress" of the Holiday Season, pop this movie into the VCR and relax; your subsequent laughter will be the perfect elixir to cure any holiday blues.
