National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (1989)

 Genre: Christmas / Comedy
Directed by: Jeremiah S. Chechik
Cast: Chevy Chase, Beverly D’Angelo, Randy Quaid
Time: 97 minutes


 

Clark Griswold lives in the Chicago area with his wife Ellen and his two kids, Audrey and Rusty. Clark’s plan is to have a big shindig where he hosts all of the extended family for Christmas. He also hopes to get a big seasonal bonus from work to surprise his family with a big expense. But with redneck cousin Eddie dropping by uninvited with his family and so many other issues, things do not go as planned.

This is an all-time Christmas classic film, with zany situations and slapstick comedy. I am not the biggest Chevy Chase fan out there, but he was in true peak cinematic form here. The rest of the cast does a good job too. This one is so much fun.
