It's Christmas time and the Griswolds are preparing for a family seasonal celebration, but things predictably turn into a big disaster when the Griswolds must deal with their in-laws.

With enough sight gags to please slapstick fans and enough good-natured Christmas cheer to qualify as a good holiday film, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation should keep most viewers occupied and provide 97 minutes of goofy entertainment.

The best of the four "Vacation" movies.

hilarious, a classic

[A] fairly perfect blend... of cartoon violence and mayhem and the pleasant lightness of a Christmas movie.

Easily the funniest of the four Vacation movies. Just try keeping a straight face when the uncouth Cousin Eddie (Randy Quaid) is on screen.

One of the great unanswered questions in Hollywood is how Chevy Chase still gets work.

John Hughes wrote the screenplay for this silly, warm little guilty pleasure that nails most of the trials and tribulations of spending the holidays with family.

In National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, Chevy Chase's family Christmas tree is a little full with a lot of sap, much like this movie. But it's a big-hearted fullness and it's a smoothly stirred sap.

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.

Christmas Vacation may not be a fancy package, but it is a diverting stocking stuffer.

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 earnest.

Solid family fare with plenty of yocks.
