"National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation" (1989).

[Joanna]

The third installment of the Griswold family saga is a significant improvement over their previous vacation (National Lampoon's European Vacation). Disaster-prone dad (Chevy Chase) discovers just how dangerous the Christmas season really is, as the Griswolds' old-fashioned holiday celebration turns out to be more "Bah! Humbug!" than Christmas cheer. Chase is right at home with the outrageous slapstick and often cheerfully tasteless humor, and John Hughes's script is stuffed full of classic Christmas movie references, but Randy Quaid practically steals the film as the unemployed relative with his malicious grin and mooching lifestyle. Not exactly a holiday classic and a bit spotty, but this gag-filled comedy is just obnoxious enough for the Scrooge lurking inside everyone. And fear not, a happy ending awaits all. Watch for future star Juliette Lewis as Chase's teenage daughter. --Sean Axmaker http://www.amazon.com/

HILARIOUS !!!!!!!!

[Merry Sage]

I really liked this movie and my children still do, despite being grown up now. The wee cartoon at the beginning is hilarious. There's a bit of adult humour through out, but this is balanced so well with so much slapstick comedy.

I'd LOVE to have that gorgeous Advent calender-looks-like-a-house that you see each day's window being opened on.

This is such a funny movie - we quote it a lot too! "Clark, that there's an RV"

The scene on the saucer is hilarious, my girls watch it for the first time this past Christmas season and thought it was awesome!
