This movie describes the more frustrating aspects of christmas very well. Best of the Vacation-movies, and a movie that holds up on countless viewings9,5/10

Easily my favourite Christmas movie. Easily rewatchable, even out of season.9/10

It's probably because I don't like Randy Quaid or Chevy Chase but I don't like this one that much, I can certainly relate to it and some of it is very funny, but it's probably not far from the bottom of my "Christmas movies" list.

Another of my favorite Christmas movies that is on the list of films I have to see for the holiday. It also has one of my top 5 freak out scenes in a movie.

So many classics scenes.  It's 5AM, I called in sick today and I'm watching this.

Christmas Vacation is pretty funny. It doesn't feel dated at all (outside of a prolonged dream sequence set at a pool), which is unusual for 80s comedy. Chevy Chase is hilarious, and the film works by having both funny vignettes and some brick jokes with really great pay-off. It ultimately works though thanks to the heart involved, because even though Clark Griswold is an idiot, his perseverance and clear love for his family makes the audience overlook his obvious flaws. Christmas Vacation is a great comedy that has an excellent laugh-per-scene ratio. A fun way to close off Christmas. B+

Can you review this movie objectively? Great movie? No. A classic you can watch and rematch every year? YES!
