National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation DVD Review
Summary
Without a doubt, "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation" is the ultimate Christmas-themed comedy. I make it a tradition to watch this movie countless times between Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve. Even after memorizing it, the film remains as hilarious and entertaining as ever. It's more than just a seasonal flick; it's one of those rare comedies that is nearly perfect from start to finish.
Review
"National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation" continues the adventurous escapades of Clark Griswold (Chevy Chase) and his family. This installment of the classic Vacation series is arguably the best. Unlike previous films where Clark aims for a grand vacation, this time, the Griswolds stay home in suburban Chicago. Clark’s mission is to craft the perfect holiday experience.
Among the memorable characters, Julia Louis-Dreyfus stands out as Margot, Clark's yuppie neighbor, just before she became Elaine on "Seinfeld". She’s joined by her snobbish partner, Todd (Nicholas Guest). Randy Quaid returns as Cousin Eddie, reprising his role from the original Vacation movie. Eddie’s character, simple yet endearing, brings a lovable chaos. Beverly D’Angelo returns as Clark’s supportive wife, Ellen.
Clark's ambition to create the ultimate old-fashioned family Christmas leads to inevitable chaos. With various family members under one roof, tensions rise. Clark’s determination to decorate with 25,000 lights results in comedic mishaps, including a near fall and an ice projectile taking out a neighbor’s window.
The comedy only intensifies with Cousin Eddie’s unannounced arrival, parking his RV in the Griswold's driveway. Accompanied by his eccentric family and their dog Snots, the chaos escalates. Clark’s stress peaks as Christmas approaches without his expected annual bonus. His grand holiday surprise?"a swimming pool?"is at risk without it.
On a disastrous Christmas Eve, where mishaps include an exploding turkey, an electrocuted cat, a burnt tree, and a rogue squirrel, salvation appears at the door. The long-awaited Christmas bonus arrives, but it’s not what Clark hoped for. In a twist, Cousin Eddie offers a surprising last-minute gift.
Released in 1989, "Christmas Vacation" feels timeless, destined to be a holiday staple for generations. With some of comedy’s best one-liners, you’ll find yourself quoting it for years. The film's lasting appeal lies in its relatable scenarios. Everyone knows a Cousin Eddie or has encountered snooty neighbors, and who hasn’t faced their share of festive disasters?
Overall, this movie is a comedic masterpiece. If you don’t enjoy it, you might want to check your pulse.
