Summary: Even Scrooge Would Love This Movie!
Review: Hands down the funniest Christmas movie of all-time! You've just got to pity poor Clark Griswald (Chevy Chase) who tries his darndest to host a "fun-filled family Christmas" only to be victimized by every disaster imaginable. Of course, it's all done for laughs and quite frankly, nearly every scene in "Christmas Vacation" rates very high on the Laugh-O-Meter! This film makes light of the commercialism of Christmas -- be it the search for the perfect tree, waiting for that big year-end bonus at work, or the stress of shopping -- and twists it into a brilliant satire to which everyone can relate. But most of all, this is a movie about family, or more specifically, the family members we only see on "special" occasions. And my goodness, what a motley bunch the Griswalds are! In fact, Randy Quaid as the pea-brained, red-neck Cousin Eddie nearly steals the movie. Quaid doesn't merely light up the screen, he practically BLOWS it up every single second he is on camera. Everything about Eddie-- from his sauve selection of leisure suits to his filthy "tenament on wheels"-- is funny beyond imagination. The dialogue between Clark (the straight man) and Eddie is pure comic genius. Eddie, however, is merely a fool among many in "Christmas Vacation". Everyone can relate to the fighting in-laws, the cheapskate boss, and the senile Aunt Bethany and Uncle Louis as they all wreak havoc on what should be the best time of the year. Plain and simple, "Christmas Vacation" is such a hoot because we all share a bit of Clark Griswald's romantic vision of a perfect holiday. And most of us, not unlike Clark, experience a complete meltdown once the shopping begins and the relatives arrive. Around our home, we watch this movie at least 5 times every year during the Holiday Season. "Christmas Vacation" is the perfect cure for the Holiday Blues. An absolute comedy classic!

Summary: In par with the first one!
Review: The third installment of the vacation movies, i.e., National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation VHS~ Chevy Chase is vast improvement over the second movie. The comedy is many times smarter and this time around, they decided not to be as sugar sweet or stupid as in the second movie. Me and my future wife, i.e., Jennifer, watch this movie every Christmas and absolutely love it. There are so many memorable scenes in this movie, i.e., National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation VHS~ Chevy Chase, that it is very hard to pick one; however, if I have to pick one that stands out then it is probably the turkey scene. This plays on the notion of the incompetent wife whom cannot cook. Another scene that is just a poke in the eye is when Rand Quaid is wearing the white sweater with the red mock turtleneck. A definite classic that should be watched every Christmas.

Summary: Family favorite, but needs to be in wide screen
Review: My Family really enjoys this movie every year. We were all VERY excited when it came out on DVD. But VERY disappointed in the full screen format. This was a theatrical release and deserves to be done in wide screen. The movie on its own gets 5 stars but this DVD only gets 3 stars. PLEASE RELEASE A WIDE SCREEN VERSION ON DVD SO WE CAN SEE WHAT WE'VE BEEN MISSING!! Thanks.

Summary: 1of the best christmas movies of all time
Review: This is the the funniest movie to watch around christmas time. I would not watch it with younger childeren though because of the language but it is a very funny movie. The best parts are when Clark goes crazy cause the lights wont come on and starts to kick the lawn ornaments. Then you got the squirrel which is way too funny and you cant forget about good ol aunt bethany. So overall if you want a hilarious christmas movie get this if you want a funny family movie get christmas story

Summary: True... Sad but True
Review: This is so true, right? Everyone has those Christmas' where something goes wrong. I mean and that shaft from his company is not too far from the truth. My dad one year got 100 bucks to a grocery store. Can you believe that? Randy Quaid plays a laugh out loud character. I mean who in their family does not have a character like this? You are not an American citizen if you do not have some weird relative. This movie is my favorite holiday movie. Perfect for all year round. You will see every possible holiday mishap. Get it today!

Summary: The funniest movie ever made!
Review: This movie is sooo funnie! Chevy Chase is great! This movie is always funny to watch. I own it, and have watched it over 50 times and every time i watch it its still funny! Basically its about Chevy chase wanting a good old fashioned family christmas. Thats not good. as usual everything goes wrong. There Christmas tree isnt just bright, its on fire! There are so many funny parts in this movie, like when Aunt Bethany comes. They ask her to say grace and she replies "Grace? She died 30 years ago!" When she arrives at the house is the funniest part in the movie. Its also very funnie when uncle eddie comes. He's great. This is Chevy Chase's best movie. The only thing I don't understand is why it's rated PG-13, because it should be R. There is so much bad language.
