National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (DVD) ... DVD released 05 November, 2007 at Warner Home Video / Features of the DVD: PAL, Widescreen / National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation is the third instalment of the Griswold family saga and a significant improvement over their previous 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, but 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, 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

 ... setting off to the forest to find the Perfect Christmas Tree. On the way, they get into a funny situation & also have problems fitting the tree back inside their home. This is pretty indicative of the rest of the plot as Clark continues all the way through the film to get into funny scrapes & situations as he tries to provide the Perfect Christmas for his family who are staying with him. I like the film. There isn't much going on plot wise to be fair, but that makes it very easy to watch & relax. Diffe...more

Premium Review National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (DVD): Who invited the racoon in? (285 words)

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation probably ranks as my third favourite NL movie after the quite excellent Animal House and the other film to feature the Griswold family, European Vacation. The leader of the Griswold family is Clark Griswold who is played by Chevy Chase, Clark loves xmas as it s a wonderfuil time for family even if his family are rather dysfunctional and Clark is a well meaning guy who does not have the greatest amount of luck however this year he is determined that things will be different and this will be the best xmas ever for the family hence he pulls on a truly awful xmas jumper and starts rigging up the lights on the outside of the ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Joy to the World!!! (764 words)

Americans, compared to us Brits, are incredibly fortunate when it comes to having a satisfying Christmas. We still hanker after a Victorian ideal - robins in the garden, holly and ivy in the hall, and above all, a chilly blank of silent snow. But sadly, our actual winter has shifted a couple of months since Dickens' day, and even if we do get a few flakes on December 25th, it's more an anomaly than ordinary weather. By contrast, many areas of the USA can be plunged into great blizzards from mid-Fall onwards. Of course, this can be inconvenient, even dangerous, but it does have the advantage that those endless shopping trips and last minute panics are played out with ...  Read the complete review

One evening every christmas i sit down to watch this very entertaining christmas comedy dvd. It's all about Clark Griswold (Chevy Chase) wanting the perfect christmas with his family but all does not go to plan with extra family staying and of course nothing at all goes to plan thoughtout this time.

Rating:

Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas without a hilarious comedy usually aired around those busy shopping weekends. Funnily enough the Griswold’s version of Christmas shopping is strangely different to ours, as Clark Griswold (Chevy Chase) decides to spends ages in an underwear boutique looking at the underwear.... mainly on the shop assistant. Like I said, their shopping is strangely different .....or is it? (You dirty men!) Clark loves Christmas and more than anything wants it to be special for him and his whole family, but things start to go wrong. When looking for a Christmas tree with the rest of the family, (his wife and two ...  Read the complete review

Christmas isn't Christmas without a visit to the Griswald's. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation is a 1989 movie featuring the Griswald family, stars of the other National Lampoon's classic such as European vacation and Vegas vacation. It's a classic American Christmas comedy and one that has become essential viewing in my house every year and for countless other people too. The head of the Griswald family is Clark, played by Chevy Chase and for those of you who have never seen any of these movies before, Clark is the type of guy that always says the inappropriate thing and is always getting himself into some kind of hilarious trouble that he does ...  Read the complete review
