Pros: The laughs.
Cons: None, really.
In the eighties there was a string of nonsensical slapstick comedies whose
humor mainly floated around animal excrement and dead mother-in-laws. This is one of them. But it's a fun ride. Chevy Chase stars in one of the
greatest comedies of the...

Pros: funny, special effect,
Cons: none
I read one of my fellow epinion writer comments about how neglect of an old woman and the cruelty to animals was all shown in this movie NATIONAL LAMPOON CHRISTMAS. I must have missed that. The movie I watched all had funny scenes that consisted of a...

Pros: Funny
Cons: none
National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation is by far the funniest of all the Lampoon's movies. Its filled with non-stopping comedy that will make you laugh through out the entire movie.
Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo team up for another great holiday...

Pros: Directing and ensemble roasting of holiday values
Cons: Dream sequence might cause lustful thinking
Hard to believe it's been ten years since the release of this, the second in John Hughes skewed ode to the Griswold Family. Just the idea of getting Chevy Chase, (Clark), Beverly D'Angelo, (Ellen) and Randy Quaid, (cousin...

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: Very, VERY funny!
Cons: Not for young children due to profanity and innuendo
What kind of fruitcake decks his house with 25,000 Christmas lights? Cuts down a tree roughly the size of a giant California redwood and actually brings it inside? Is determined to have a Norman Rockwell Christmas even if it kills him? Why, Clark...

Pros: great slapstick comedy
Cons: trails off at end (although finish is great).
Note: Mine was a VERY early entry in this write-off. Please go read all of the great opinions in it (see below) There are many traditions around the holidays. Decorating your Christmas tree. Baking cookies. Losing assembly instructions. ...

by Goatius in Movies, , Dec 24 '08
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: Laughs for all ages
Cons: None I can think of
I am not usually a fan of the National Lampoon movies, so I originally turned my nose up to this one, and it was only because I was forced to watch it did I. Let me tell you, it's hilarious. Everyone can relate to a Grizwald house when it comes to...

Pros: A funny Chevy Chase Classic
Cons: at least on scene not suitable for young children
Every year we all look forward to Christmas. Till it gets about a month away then we wish it wouldnt come for another year. Cause no matter how much planning goes into Christmas something always goes wrong. Maybe all the dreaded inlaws aren't...

by updateghost - Top 1000, Jan 25 '05
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: Something to enjoy when aunt, uncle, cousin billy, grandma ruth, and great uncle pete are swarmed around the dinner table.
Cons: we non-actors dont get paid to put up with our family, at least they each made a cool million.
Years ago when this film came out,, back in 92 maybe, me and my family went to see it.. It was right off the bat hilarious.. We waited till it came out on video and bought it.. We watched it so often we actually wore the tape out so we waited a little...

Pros: So funny you will cry.
Cons: Clark is a womanizer.
If I was ever forced to inhabit a deserted island that came equipped with a VCR, this is the one movie I'd choose to take with me. Of all the National Lampoon Vacation Movies, this one is my favorite, just edging out the original. We all walk around...

Pros: Good family Movie
Cons: None
National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation was definately a good movie. Growing up our family used to call ourselves the Griswalds. Because if there was a way for something to go wrong, it absolutely did!
Chevy and his family reminded us of...

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 ...
