National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation

Pros: Wonderful cast and script, hilarious classic moments
Cons: Gets a little carried away with itself, gets a bit out of hand at times

Despite the fact that a great number of comedies set at Christmas time get produced, remarkably few are actually funny.  The reason for this is debatable, but I think what it boils down to is that people either romanticize the holiday out of all ...

Pros: Extremely funny. In my opinion, it is the best National Lampoon Vacation movie.
Cons:

Not for young children. Contains adult humor, and some strong language.

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation is one of my all time favorite movies. The film was released in 1989, and stars Chevy Chase as Clark Griswold, and Beverly D'Angelo as his wife, Ellen. National Lampoon made a series of vacation movies, and ...

Pros: Absolutely wonderful movie! The best video quality released so far!
Cons: Pretty much no bonus features, nothing special done for the release

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation has been a staple of my holiday movie viewing for years. I first watched the movie when I was about 8 years old when it broadcast on TV in 1994 and I managed to record it to VHS the Christmas after that. This movie ...

Pros: Non-stop laughter!
Cons: None!

For me Christmas isn't Christmas if it isn’t done right. Sure; their is a deeper meaning to the holiday than having fun on one day, opening the gifts and eating a lot of food, but even so Christmas is not Christmas unless my rituals are done. These ...

Pros: Hilarious!
Cons: None

Every year, my family (my Mom and Dad, my brother and I), went to see a special ‘Christmas Movie.’ It was a tradition that my mother invented when we were young. I think the first one we ever saw together was A Christmas Story, (1983) and it was ...

Pros: Chevy Chase, comical laugh out loud scenes
Cons: Some sexual scenes could be eliminated.

Every year, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation provides me with a lot of laughs. I've seen all of the movies featuring the Griswold family, and this one is one of the best, along with the original film where the family traveled to Wally World. ...

Pros: Chevy Chase is Awesome, extremely funny, geared to interest the whole family
Cons: none

One of the new Christmas/Holiday classics in the world of film has become National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. In the film, Chevy Chase stars as Clark Griswold in his third go-round as the lead character. He has taken a Vacation to ...

Pros: acting, story, comedy
Cons: some parts dated, predictable

When it comes to the holiday season, I’m one of those people who don’t like to take it too seriously. It seems that when I want to achieve the “perfect” Christmas life becomes more stressful. Instead, I kick back and laugh. ...

Pros: A Christmas classic! Cousin Eddie steals the show.
Cons: None, if you keep in mind that this is mindless comedic entertainment.

My Christmas holiday would not be complete without two special movies: "A Christmas Story" and "Christmas Vacation." Granted, "Christmas Vacation" is not quite on a par with Ralphie's quest for a Red Ryder BB gun, but it comes DARNED close. As do all ...

Pros: There's plenty of funny scenes, and Chase is good, as usual.
Cons: None of the scenes with the neighbors are funny.

I have no idea why National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation has the word "vacation" in it. The family whom the film focuses on, the Griswolds, never take a vacation from their Chicago suburb in this film. They just stay right there, and occasionally ...

Pros: Funny
Cons: Could be too silly for some people

Over the years, I have seen all of the National Lampoon Vacation movies featuring the Griswold family and their disastrous vacations. I have liked some of them more than others. I first saw National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation in ...

Pros: Incredibly funny classic!!!! Do not miss!
Cons: What?

I can remember going to see this one in the theater back in 1989! My sister, who was in college at the time, MADE me and my parents go see this movie! We haven't stopped laughing since! Every year we gather together during Thanksgiving week, and on Thanks ...

Pros: Laugh out loud funny
Cons: It only lasts 97 minutes

I have never been good at watching a movie twice. I mean, what's the point? I already know what's going to happen, and how it's going to end, right? To watch a movie more than once, it has to be great. Really great. I love this movie because my family ...

Pros: chevy chase, randy quaid
Cons: it ends too soon

This has to be my familys favorite movie. we have watched it so many times that the vhs, has grown thin, and the tape snows. it's a good thing that we got the dvd for christmas this year. Of all the movies i have seen, this is the one i quote most often....

Pros: Hilarious!
Cons: Some cruelty to animals and sexual inuendo make it not suitable for young children.

National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation isn’t your “normal” Christmas movie like “Miracle on 34th St.” or “The Santa Clause,” but I think it’s one of the best Christmas movies ever. It makes you laugh at, among...
