Classic family fun.

This is one of the imperative films that I watch every single christmas and it never gets old. Contrary to the bemoaning of the TV christmas film schedule that I hear from my family, I pray that this classic is shown every year. It encapsulates the mood of christmas perfectly for me.

Chevy Chase and his band of SNL men are perhaps my favourite acto... read more

"Where do you think you're going? Nobody's leaving. Nobody's walking out on this fun, old-fashioned family Christmas. No, no. We're all in this together. This is a full-blown, four-alarm holiday emergency here. We're gonna press on, and we're gonna have the hap, hap, happiest Christmas since Bing Crosby tap-danced with Danny fucking Kaye. And when Santa squeezes his fat white ass down that chimney... read more

I wasn't interested at first in seeing this film because it just seemed like a waste but a good friend really wanted to watch it so I did. When I did see it, I was blown away by how good it turned out to be. The comedy was often rather silly because of all the mistakes Clark makes.

It's Christmas time and the Griswolds are preparing for a family seasonal celebration, but things never run smoothly for Clark, his wife Ellen and their two kids. Clark's continual bad luck is worsened by his obnoxious family guests, but he manages to keep going knowing that his Christmas bonus is due soon.

Films and the critics who hate them (741 movies items)

"One of the great unanswered questions in Hollywood is how Chevy Chase still gets work. - James Berardinelli, ReelViews Sequence after sequence seems to contain all the necessary material, to be well on the way toward a payoff, and then it somehow doesn't work. - Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times The new film does little more than reintroduce these familiar characters (with new actors playing the children, who would otherwise be college age by now) and let them get on one another's nerves in ear"
