Christmas Vacation: A Quick Review

I love everything about this movie. It's a wonderful Christmas movie and is, as far as I'm concerned, one of the funniest movies that any human being has ever made. Chevy Chase once again heads the cast as Clark Griswald in the third "Vacation" movie. I've only seen this one and "Vacation" (aka the first one), but rumor has it that "Christmas Vacation" is the funniest. Joining Chevy Chase are Beverly D'Angelo, Randy Quaid and several other hilarious cast members. Chevy Chase gets hit in the face with the attic ladder and a wooden plank (multiple times), the Griswald's get their Christmas tree in the middle of nowhere, and Clark Griswald attempts to put up thousands of Christmas lights. These situations are just really funny to me. The same can be said for a cat being lit on fire under a couch and senile Aunt Bethany pretty much doing anything. Cousin Eddie and his hill-billy family arriving via their RV is also good for a lot of laughs. If you haven't seen this movie you should watch it very soon. I usually don't like comedies because so many are just stupid and not funny - but this one's hilarious, especially watching it with other people...and the opening song played during the credits is actually really catchy.
