Christmas Vacation is the second best movie in the National Lampoon's Vacation series, the original Vacation being the best. European and Vegas Vacation should never have been made but whatever. Christmas provides enough laughs that you forget about European Vacation anyway.
Chevy Chase again plays probably his funniest movie character in the bumbling family man Clark W. Grizwold. Beverly DeAngelo returns as his long suffering wife Ellen. The kids are new like in every Vacation movie but that shouldn't weigh too heavy on you because the kids always suck. Look for a pre-fame Juliette Lewis as Audrey. The grandparents are all annoying and hilarious at the same time. Randy Quaid is again in his best role ever as Cousin Eddie. This time Eddie has brought the family with him with predictable results.
The whole movie is a great holiday comedy and one that I watch around Christmas time every year. It's too bad that Chevy Chase has for some reason sank into obscurity. Maybe it's because he isn't the nice guy that Clark is in real life. Bottom Line: If you haven't been watching this then you really are missing out. It's a great christmas movie. You gotta see it.
