National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation [1989]
ReviewsChristmas isn't the same without it Review date: 2008-09-29 Rating: 10 out of 10 I LOVE this film! I cannot let a year go by without watching it. I defy anyone not to crack up watching Chevy Chase on that saucer sled. Hilarity itself. If you haven't seen it, buy it. If you have seen it, buy it anyway. Part of our Christmas 'build-up' routine... is it yours? Review date: 2007-12-21 Rating: 10 out of 10 Chevy Chase and gang star in what was the last good National Lampoons Film (don't get me started on the Vegas one...) with lots and lots of laughs. The DVD transfer is great - included many small scenes that I've never seen before, but lacks really on extra features. The acting as usual is top-notch, especially from hill-billy bum Eddy and his wild family. Christmas wouldn't be the same without this film! Chaotic Christmas fun Review date: 2007-12-09 Rating: 10 out of 10 This is probably my favourite Christmas film (and there's plenty of competition!). Why can I sit down and watch this every Christmas? It's probably Chevy Chase's best film, for one thing: he's on top form as an everyman character trying desperately to achieve the impossible by creating the perfect Christmas for his family. He has an ordeal to come through before it all comes together, including bad luck and misunderstandings. There's a good combination of memorable dialogue and visual/slapstick comedy, resulting in a very entertaining mix. Much of the comedy timing is spot on, particularly from Chase, and every scene involving Clark (Chase) and freeloading, thick Cousin Eddie (Randy Quaid in fine form) is a joy. There are several nods to other films (including Halloween!), some well-played pathos to contrast with the comedy, and the film also has something to say about the commercialisation of Christmas and about families in general. If you can get into the American sense of humour, this is a film to leave you with a grin on your face, and a warm Christmassy glow by the time it ends (partly because whatever happens at your own Christmas, it's unlikely to work out as chaotically as this family's Christmas!). ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE CHRISTMAS FILM!!!! Review date: 2007-12-07 Rating: 10 out of 10 Never ever get tired of watching this film - have been known to watch it in the summer as it is a really fabulous feel good factor. all the family will relate to this - tiresome family coming round, pressure of delivering the goods etc - love Christmas?? get this film.
