As the holidays approach, Clark Griswold wants to have a perfect family Christmas, so he pesters his wife, Ellen, and children, as he tries to make sure everything is in line, including the tree and house decorations. However, things go awry quickly. His hick cousin, Eddie, and his family show up unplanned and start living in their camper on the Griswold property. Even worse, Clark’s employers renege on the holiday bonus he needs.With Chevy Chase, Beverly D’Angelo, Juliette Lewis, Johnny Galecki, and Randy Quaid.

“If it doesn’t make you at least giggle, then you clearly don’t understand the true meaning of the festive season.” (Empire Magazine)

“Chevy Chase’s befuddled Dad remains a genuinely amusing creation, and the sight gags are impeccably timed.” (Entertainment Weekly)
