Member Rating:  
Chevy Chase, star of National Lampoon's Vacation and its sequel, is back as the paterfamilias of the Griswold family (including Beverly D'Angelo as his missus) to skewer the Yuletide season. Chevy mugs, trips, falls, mashes his fingers and stubs his toes as he prepares to invite numerous dysfunctional relatives to his household to celebrate Christmas. Amidst the more outrageous sight gags (including the electrocution of a cat as the Christmas tree is lit) the film betrays a sentimental streak, with old wounds healing and long-estranged relatives reuniting in the Griswold living room. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation was still capable of attracting an audience five years after its release -- it was one of the top-rated seasonal TV specials of 1994, outrating even the first network telecast of It's a Wonderful Life. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

If you have never seen this movie, you're in for a treat. Our family watches it every December and it gets better every time. Each time you watch, you pick up little things you never noticed before. Everyone can relate to something in this movie. One of the best comedies ever made!

Definitely one of my favorite movies! So many comedies just use curse words to tyto make one laugh, but this shows that with a little facial expression, maybe some physical comedy and some hilarious situations, its easy to make one laugh! A christmas classic! Hilarious!
