"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. Also, it was rather clever because some of those things could have happened normally especially when under pressure. ... read more

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.

"24.12. Lupaavasta alusta siirrytään karmeaan slapstickiin oitkästyttävyyksiin asti venytettyine vitseineen ja typerine juonikuviointineen ennalta-arvattavuuksineen. Aivoton loppuratkaisu on melkein jopa loukkaava. Olen ehkä puoli tähteä liian armollinen, mutta muutama hyvä roolisuoritus ja slapstackin taakse kätketty perusjuoni on kuitenkin jopa melkein toimii jollain tasolla."
