Summary: Best since Caddyshack
Review: In this movie the Griswold family tries to have a nice little christmas which soon goes on the road to hell. While on the road to hell they encounter hilarious misadventures which makes the movie laugh outloud funny. If you haven't seen this rent it. Rated PG-13 for profanity.

Summary: Christmas Vacation
Review: The best Christmas vacation ever! Christmas just wouldn't be the same without Chevy Chase and all the gang for this laugh-out-loud slapstick riot. When the Griswolds (kids played by different people) decide to spend their Christmas vacation at home - they not only deck the halls, but themselves as well.
Co-starring in this comic masterpiece are Beverly DeAngelo and Randy Quaid. The best Chase movie since Fletch.

Summary: Best of the "Vacation" Movies
Review: "Christmas Vacation" is, by a slight margin, the best of the "vacation" movies. It's the third one of the, so far, four part series. As the title implies, this one features the Griswolds at home over the Christmas holiday."Christmas Vacation" features the typical physical comedy that the series and Chevy Chase are known for. Chase stars as the Griswold family patriarch, Clark. Clark is expecting a great holiday season after having invited many of his relatives and in-laws to spend the holidays at his house. Of course, everything that can go wrong does. The humor in "Christmas Vacation" isn't about what goes wrong; it's about how Clark and his family deal with it. Unlike the two previous movies, Clark seems to be a little more "with it" in this film where as, in the two previous ones, he seemed oblivious to all the bad things that befell him. "Christmas Vacation" deserves to be a holiday classic. It may not rank up there with such greats as "A Christmas Story" or "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" (cartoon version); but, it is very close and may eventually attain that plateau with age.

Summary: Not as good as the original
Review: National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (what is national lampoon supposed to mean anyway?) is the third film in the VACATION series, and second best. I am by no means a National Lampoon fan, but this film was quite good. It was funny and pretty fast-paced. Rent it, but it's a tad raunchy for the little ones!

Summary: All is Glum, All is Blight
Review: Plenty of films have been made about that magical season of miracles - a time when people are pressured into being happy and jolly, the suicide rate goes up, and relatives are forced to pretend they like each other. In a word: Christmas. "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation" could well be the best (and funniest) film about Christmas ever made. For Clark Griswold, Christmas turns out to be anything but a happy, harmonious affair. Everything goes wrong. The Christmas that Clark envisions becomes a holiday fraught with hilarious mishaps, setbacks and disappointments. Nevertheless, Clark is determined to make this Christmas work. Things don't get any better with the unexpected arrival of cousin Eddie. "Christmas Vacation" is a film packed with moments of sheer laughter at Clark's expense. One scene I always think of is Clark getting ready to carve the turkey, with the relatives sitting around the table looking on. It sounds like a common enough picture. But this film takes it to a whole new dimension. If your Christmas is going badly, this film will certainly put things into perspective. This is as close to reality as a Christmas story can get.

Summary: Love the movie, hate the DVD
Review: Will all of the reissue of old movies with enhanced features for DVD, why would this disc be released I the same format as the VHS release. I think this is one of the funniest movies around, but the DVD release should have included a wide screen version and restored the missing scenes. There are screen shots on the DVD jacket that are not even on the DVD version. I was very disappointed...

Summary: One of the greatest comedies ever...
Review: This is one of the few movies that I have laughed uncontrollably at. The film immediately gives the viewer a taste of what is to come later when the family is first searching for the "Griswold Family Christmas Tree" out in a rural setting. The family, in their beat up station wagon, gets harassed by a couple of rednecks who end up playing chicken on the road with Clark, the father (Chase). As the movie progresses towards the final scenes on Christmas Eve and more family members arrive, the scenes become more outrageous, like the issues that rise when both sets of grandparents arrive or the measures Clark takes to decorate the house with Christmas lights. When he finally succeeds in lighting the house, the movie shifts into a different gear when Ellen, Clark's wife's (D'Angelo) cousin Eddie (Quaid) and his family arrives on the scene via a barely running RV with their rottweiler dog that is aptly named for a body condition. The film is stuck in high gear after this, as scenes become more disastrous and hilarious. The Christmas Eve dinner features the entire family along with Clark's Aunt Bethany and Uncle Lewis and their senile demeanors. Random scenes like the dog "yakkin' on a bone" during dinner or Bethany's house cat mistakenly wrapped up as a Christmas present add to the hilarity. The movie ends when Clark finds out that he has been shafted by his boss and Cousin Eddie decides to do something about it. A great holiday classic with many more random, funny scenes not mentioned in this review.

Summary: National Lampoon Makes a FUNNY "Vacation" movie again!!!!
Review: This was a GREAT comedy movie!!! I've seen every Vacation movie there is, and every one is funny in its own way. This one is full of laughs and VERY funny moments. Instead of traveling(like in every other "Vacation" movie)The Griswalds are going to invite the whole family over and have a "Fun-filled old fashioned family Christmas".. NOT!! Every thing goes wrong... They get tailed by two thugs while driving out of town to get their christmas tree which is taller than their living room ceiling, Clarke puts in money ahead of time for a swimming pool, Clarke(Chevy Chase) puts 2,500 lights on his roof, and so on. Then the realitives arrive, bearing arguments and family fights. And then Cousin Eddy(Randy Quaid)comes and surprises every one and "shacks up with them." I don't want to give the whole movie away(especially the GREAT ending..)so I'll stop there. I own this movie and have watched it over 50 times, and I laugh EVERY time! I highly reccommend buying this movie, it's worth the $....(This is definently better than Chase's Fletch or Funny Farm.)
