Christmas Vacation (1989)

National Lampoon's "Christmas Vacation" is a hilarious comedic telling of the tragic yet comical reality of the juxtaposition of holidays and humans, more specifically, family. As the in-laws, immediate family, grandparents, and cousins etc. gather at the Griswold home for what Clark Griswold is determined to make the most memorable Christmas vacation of their life, it is only a matter of time before things begin to go very, very wrong. Let the jolly mayhem of Christmas ensue!

The case includes: Chevy Chase, Beverly D'Angelo, Juliette Lewis, and Randy Quaid.

Written by: John Hughes.

Directed by: Jeremiah S. Chechik.
