Leave your thoughts about National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.
| IGNAndy PatrizioThis movie has always been a favorite when it comes to the nuttiness of Christmas and family, and it's still a riot. Have a merry dysfunctional Christmas. |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonJohn 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. |
| Film InquiryKristy StrouseNational Lampoon's Christmas Vacation isn't the finest Xmas movie you'll ever see, but it's disarmingly heartfelt at times, and the over-the-top extravaganzas (like the house lights you could probably see from space) epitomize Christmas. |
| Antagony & EcstasyTim Brayton[A] fairly perfect blend... of cartoon violence and mayhem and the pleasant lightness of a Christmas movie. |
| USA TodaySusan WloszczynaOne of the great unanswered questions in Hollywood is how Chevy Chase still gets work. Although his appeal is not as incomprehensible as that of, say, Pauly Shore, it's not obvious, either; "range" is one word no one will ever use in conjunction with Chase's acting ability. |
| Washington PostRita KempleyChase presides amiably over this uneven but affable slapstick comedy. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliOne of the great unanswered questions in Hollywood is how Chevy Chase still gets work. |
| Los Angeles TimesMichael WilmingtonChevy Chase has not been on a roll lately, and to say that in National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation he's funnier than in his last six movies combined may sound like high praise, until you remember those six movies. "Caddyshack II" alone almost throws them into the "minus" laugh range. But here, he does what he does best: flat-out slapstick and subversive tear-downs of his own smooth image. This sweet, goofball, manic middle-class daddy brings out his sharpest reflexes and he gets good support from D'Angelo, the bulging-eyed slob-in-excelsis Quaid, and from Questel and Hickey as his dottiest relations. |
| Flick FilosopherMaryAnn JohansonChristmas Vacation never quite reaches the levels of suburban-angst rage that other Vacation movies do, but it does have its moments. |
| EmpireWilliam ThomasIf it doesn't make you at least giggle, then you clearly don't understand the true meaning of the festive season. |
