National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation

[pg]

United States 1989, 97 mins
Director: Jeremiah Chechik
Starring: Johnny Galecki, Juliette Lewis, Chevy Chase, Beverly D'Angelo

Synopsis

Chevy Chase, star of NATIONAL LAMPOON'S VACATION and its sequel, returns to skewer the Yuletide season, and the third in the series is the best – who hasn't lived through the horror of hanging the Christmas lights and then spending hours looking for the one bulb that's broken?

The Griswolds’ Christmas holiday is anything but an occasion for peace on Earth, and there's certainly not much goodwill to spare when the rest of the repulsive family arrive for a spot of rejoicing. Chase mugs, trips, falls, mashes his fingers and stubs his toes, all in the name of seasonal entertainment.
