Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Christmas Vacation may not be a fancy package, but it is a diverting stocking stuffer.
– Rita Kempley,

rotten:
Sequence after sequence seems to contain all the necessary material, to be well on the way toward a payoff, and then it somehow doesn't work.
– Roger Ebert,

rotten:
One of the great unanswered questions in Hollywood is how Chevy Chase still gets work.
– James Berardinelli,

rotten:
The new film does little more than reintroduce these familiar characters (with new actors playing the children, who would otherwise be college age by now) and let them get on one another's nerves in earnest.

Solid family fare with plenty of yocks.
