Amazon.co.uk Review

The third instalment of the Griswold family saga is a significant improvement over their previous vacation (National Lampoon's European Vacation). Disaster-prone dad (Chevy Chase) discovers just how dangerous the Christmas season really is, as the Griswolds' old-fashioned holiday celebration turns out to be more "Bah! Humbug!" than Christmas cheer. Chase is right at home with the outrageous slapstick and often cheerfully tasteless humour and John Hughes's script is stuffed full of classic Christmas movie references. However, Randy Quaid practically steals the film as the unemployed relative with his malicious grin and mooching lifestyle. Not exactly a holiday classic and a bit spotty but this gag-filled comedy is just obnoxious enough for the Scrooge lurking inside everyone. And fear not, a happy ending awaits all. Watch for future star Juliette Lewis as Chase's teenage daughter. --Sean Axmaker

5.0 out of 5 stars National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, 19 Sep 2003

By	david williams (slough, berkshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

Well where should I start?
This film rates as one of my all time favourites. For the past thirteen or so years I have played this over and over again.... and that's not just at Christmas time. Thank goodness the DVD has finally come out on sale cos my video of it has seen better days.
The film still leaves my brother and I in stitches even though we know it word for word. Clarke Griswold just wants to fulfil his ambition of a 'Big Ole Fashioned Family Christmas' but for one reason or another, things just don't seem to go Clarke's way. Full of hilarious one-liners, and plenty of wacky scenes, this film will have you splitting your sides. Watch out for the 15,000 twinkle lights Clarke attempts to put onto the house - you'll be crying from laughter. Well, for my money he's added to my Christmas' in a big way and given me hours and hours of enjoyment. A classic for every household.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious... one of the few films to make me laugh out loud, 26 Oct 2001

By	Mark Woods "Crime Analyst" (Yorkshire England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation [VHS] [1989] (VHS Tape)

I discovered this film by accident a few years ago (recorded from satellite in error) but it had me and my family in stitches ... it's now a family tradition that we watch it a few times over the Christmas holidays - and we all still laugh out loud. Many 'laugh out loud' bits - but the 'Choosing the Christmas Tree, putting up the Christmas lights, the Squirrel incident, the loft scene, the lingerie shopping trip and the chainsaw scene' are particularly good ... but really the film is funny from start to finish...

5.0 out of 5 stars An extreamly funny movie!!!!, 22 Sep 2003

By	Hilde-therese Bommen "Hilde Rasmussen" (Stavanger, Norway) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This movie is one of Chevy Chase's best!! Here he is planning the ultimate family christmas, and of course it doesn't go as planed! The opening scene is just faboulus...where the family is out looking for the perfect christmas tree.... Also they encounter the struggle of putting up christmas lights outside,and of course the unexpected christmas guests.
The movie is REALLY funny,but it also gives you the warm fuzzy feelings of family being together at the hollidays. This is a holliday-must in our family....we watch it EVERY year before christmas. Perfect for kids and grown-ups!!!

1.0 out of 5 stars RUBBISH!!!
This is a truly terrible film. We tried to watch it as a family of 5, with ages ranging from 10 to 79, and everyone thought is was so awful we turned it off after half an hour.

This is my favourite National Lampoon movie; I love it even more than Animal House, but I've seen the uncensored version and I'm annoyed that the DVD is censored.
