Meer oor hierdie fliek

The comic misadventures of the beleaguered Griswold family continue in this latest "Vacation" outing, the third and most successful of the series. (Over $71,000,000!) This time America's most dedicated dad (Chevy Chase) is determined to stay at home to create "the most fun-filled old fashioned family Christmas ever" -- but life has a particular way of throwing wet logs on Clark Griswold's fire. Look for Emmy and Golden Globe-winner Julia Louis-Dreyfus (TV's "Seinfeld") in a supporting role. Written by John Hughes ("Home Alone" series). ©1989 Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc.

I have a soft spot for these movies, and whilst this may not be the best in the series, it certainly is well worth seeing and can be quite funny in parts

Simply put, they don't make them like this anymore. Written by somebody who has been there, suffered the horror of a family get together, the indignity of false happiness when all one wants to do is get wasted on sherry and sausage rolls. Still hilarious, so well cast and acted and Beverly is always gorgeous.

In our house, we watch this every Christmas Eve without fail. It just wouldn't be the same otherwise. The attic scene makes me laugh every time.
