National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation reviews

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation holds a 7.2/10 average from 2,802 TMDB ratings.

<em>'National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation'</em>, unlike predecessor <em>'National Lampoon’s European Vacation'</em>, is more akin to the original. A good watch it is, if still off from the first flick. The festive vibes are there, it's perhaps a bit too mean-spirited at times but overall works. The cast are the cast, I don't think anyone stands out as being a great performer but they are all satisfactory. Chevy Cha…
