mcancea A great movie with Chevy Chase that plays the dad of the grisswaldes and Eddie killed it as well. Not my number one Christmas movie but most people's number one. As u raid spoilers one if the bezt quotes if of all tine half id then are from this filmelike fixed the nule post and others like I heard that New York doughy Santa's slay you serious Clark. It's just so hilarious. When tbey put on the lights it's just a real at to look at stuff that always doesn't work it's so true what happened to. Like When he has a bonus burtits not. It's the most true thing when you think you will habe everything great but its not it's overall just a amazing a amazing move if you have not seen this go watch it now. When Clark gets mad he destroyed everything and its just had gone mad. Overall I can't really spoil that much cuz there is too much too spoil. 10/10 for me.
OneEightNine Media This is a fun little holiday classic and maybe the best National Lampoons movie out of the lot. Anyway, it is about a father trying too hard to give his family the perfect Xmas experience but fails miserly at it and many full belly laughs are the result. The film is charming even if it doesn't seem as funny as it was when you were a kid. But whatever, usually Xmas comedies are a fail; Office Xmas Party, I'm looking at you. I hope Hollywood never remakes this.. but I would be surprised if they did remake it just out of spite and to grab people's goats and run them around the mud a bit. You know the score. But yeah, this is a solid family film.
adonis98-743-186503 The Griswold family's plans for a big family Christmas predictably turn into a big disaster. Although National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation is still a very enjoyable and sweet comedy with some pretty good performances by Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo the humor doesn't hold up really well in some certain scenes i mean it will still make you laugh and like i said the cast is doing a great job but the movie doesn't hold up really well when it comes to the comedy stuff it's kinda cheesy, now movies like Home Alone and Home Alone 2 will always be hilarious. Overall National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation is still a great and enjoyable film.
studioAT There's a lot of hype around this film, it's one of the ones that people watch every Christmas. So I thought i'd give it a try.The bit draw for me was John Hughes, who of course famously gave us 'Breakfast Club', 'Pretty in Pink' etc. And there are lots of the standard things we expect from him in this film. It's broadly funny, it's sentimental, it's got some nice set piece moments.I think your enjoyment of this film largely comes down to whether you find Chevy Chase funny. I did not. I spent most of the film wondering which modern actors could do this better. Apart from falling on his face or widening his eyes, I didn't find Chase that funny.In fact the supporting case are the ones who take most of the laughs, with Doris Roberts in particular being a good example.If it's your favourite Christmas film then don't listen to me, go and enjoy it. For me though this one won't be making it onto my 'must watch at Christmas' list.
