Review of National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (1989) by Kyle20Ellis — 28 Mar 2022
It mayn't be one of my favourite Christmas movies, but it is one of the funnier ones for me. I agree some of it is silly, and when I say silly I mean silly, and the story is really quite predictable. But it at least looks good with some nice cinematography and scenery, and the music is fine too.
The script has many funny moments and the sight gags while silly are respectable. The direction is competent and the performances from Chevy Chase and Beverley D'Angelo are likable while Randy Quaid gives some great relief as a decidedly obnoxious relative.
So in conclusion, no masterpiece but it is entertaining, that's what matters to me.
