Summary: The best Christmas Movie Ever
Review: There isn't much to say about this movie that hasn't been said, so I won't say anything. Everyone knows how great it is anyway. But what I don't understand is what is everyone's big problem with it not being available in widescreen? I don't get it. Someone please explain. Why is widescreen so special? For me when the movie I want is available in Full-Screen and Widescreen I definately pick the full screen one. Well some things I guess I'll never understand.

Summary: The best of the Vacation series? Probably
Review: In my opinion, 'National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation' is in fact the best of the four Vacation movies. The slapstick usage is hilarious; and a certain step up from the original and 'NL's European Vacation'. The Griswolds are a fun-loving, ill-fated bunch that deliver the laughs like no other [movie] family out there. This is certainly one that the whole family can enjoy; year after year after year for that matter. 'Christmas Vacation' is no doubt a timeless classic. And in the third of four Vacation flicks, they deliver with greater triumph. Even so, I did find a few weak things within the film's success. This is one of the funniest, and best, Christmas comedy movies available; though (in my opinion) not one of Chevy Chase's best performances. I think he is so much better in both 'Fletch' and 'Fletch Lives'. As he does in all the vacation movies, Chase (as Clark Griswold) seems to not be phased at all by the endless bad things that happen to him and his family. It's hard to believe they wouldn't give up; but I guess that's what makes them the Griswolds in the first place. Anyway, Chevy Chase is not a "humbug" kind-of guy. On another low point, the family doesn't really go on a true "vacation". I have a hard time understanding how National Lampoon can call this a Vacation movie if they never actually leave town. Maybe they wanted to give us a look into the home lives of the Griswolds; or something to that effect. It seemed to work, yet it's not quite what you'll be used to. Also, the character of Audrey Griswold was replaced (formerly Dana Hill) with Juliette Lewis. The same goes for the role of Russell. Jason Lively was replaced by child star Johnny Galecki. Neither of the replacements are half as good as the originals; the director must've been looking for more of a fan-base. On a more optimistic note, the appearances by infamous funnyman Randy Quaid and Seinfeid co-star Julia Louis-Dreyfus are very pleasant. Maybe not Quaid's character so much; his irritable, unemployed character is rather, well... quaint. But, as Clark's angered neighbors, Julia and Nicolas Guest offer some comical relief from the Griswold's continual faults. The troubles Clark and co. have seem to turn on their neighbors. That worked well for the movie, I think. As I've mentioned, I think this is the best Vacation film. But that is a very arguable statement. There are a lot of differences; some good, some bad, that make this one rather special. However, a fact is that whether at Christmas time or not, you'll enjoy it. There's parts that we can easily relate to (example: competing with neighbors to see who has the most/best Xmas lights), whereas there's things we couldn't even imagine (example: putting a 25-foot tree in the house). Whatever the relevance between you and the movie; it makes no difference in the end. I gave this only 3 stars because I am not a huge fan of the Vacation films; and I don't feel they (this one) showcase the spot-on talents of Chevy Chase as good as the 'Fletch' movies do. Still, enjoy 'National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation' over and over again. If you haven't seen it yet, you're missing out on one of the best Christmas movies around; and the best of the Vacation series.

Review: This is perhaps the best Vacation film---any time of the year! This is a great film that I was happy to replace on dvd this year. It looks a lot better than my old vhs tape, and the sudio is dted, but still an improvement. Although others were complaining about the special features, and no deleted scenes that they saw on tv, I got what I paid for. I would do it again, and if you haven't seen it, rent it. I don't care what time of the year it is. Any times a good time for Christmas Vacation. Thank you for taking the timne to read my review and God Bless America!

Summary: Perhaps the greatest Christmas movie of all time
Review: This movie is in my mind still overlooked as one of the great films of all time. It is by far the best of the National Lampoon/Chevy Chase vaccation films. You owe it to yourself to watch "Christmas Vacation" and "A Christmas Story" every holiday season! If you have not seen "Christmas Vacation" buy it or rent it, but watch it and watch it again. It gets better and better with each viewing. Enjoy!

Summary: The Greatest Christmas Movie of All Time!
Review: This is by far the best Christmas movie of all time. What makes it even better for me is I only view this movie once a year on Christmas Eve. Now it is hard to do, but it makes it about fifty times better. The movie stars Chevy Chase as Clark Griswold, a father and husband who wants the best for his family but always manages to lure disasters upon them, not to mention himself. Even from the opening scene in the film, Clark nearly creates an early death for the family. Beverly D' Angelo returns as Clark's uptight wife Hellen. Now one thing that you should know about Clark is that he always gives 110% with everything he does. His Christmas tree is about 15 feet tall, and his Christmas lights cause an energy loss throughout the entire city of Chicago. Unlike the other Vacation films, the Griswolds stay home for Christmas and invite just about every relative they have to celebrate the holiday with them. Even the ones they don't invite show up. This would be none other than Clark's budweiser-filled Uncle Eddie along with his wife Katherine and two children. Not to mention a doberman pincher that won't stop destroying the house. "Christmas Vacation" is a movie that will be sure to attract laughs and will have you wishing it were Christmas everyday of the year!

Summary: Hilarious! Two Thumbs Up!
Review: This is a hilarious movie. Nonstop laughs and a hilarious cast combine to create the most hilarious Christmas comedy ever! I could not stop laughing each time I watched this! It's a very clever movie, a classic. I'm cracking up just thinking about it right now! The funniest person is the old lady that is very disoriented. I love this movie and the DVD is great too! I love the really long trailors for each "Vacation" movie. You can relate to this movie, with the snotty neighbors, and the forgotten, dusty gift in the attic. And I'm sure some of you out there can relate to the unexpected guest arriving, much to your displeasure. Chevy Chase's car scene in the beginning reminded me so much of my Dad's driving. You must buy this DVD, it's great. You'll laugh your little snow pants off! This is a must-have for any DVD collector. Also, check out the other DVD's in the "Vacation" series. ENJOY!
