Not the best Lampoom movie
rating: 2
In this Christmas Vacation, Uncle Eddy is the star of the show. Chevy Chase (Clark) doesn't appear in it one bit. Audrey does return, though. The plot is that while on a tour of an island Uncle Eddy and the gang get marooned on an island. There they have to work to survive. They need each other. It all turns out to be a pretty good film. However, this does not even compare to the other National Lampoom films. And it certainly doesn't compare to the first Christmas Vacation. Sure it does have its laughs and funny parts, but it still doesn't come close to the others.

Unwatchable
rating: 1
Man how I love the Vacation movies. I love them so much that I was able to overlook all of the bad reviews this movie got and bought it anyway. Simply put, it was painful to watch and I forced myself to sit through it hoping it would get better. It really is as bad as the others say and ranks among the worst movies I've ever sat through and I'm not picky. I've turned off much better movies for being unwatchable. Made-For-TV isn't even a good excuse because it's not even good enough for that. I had hope that Cousin Eddie could salvage this mess, but he couldn't. At least in the others, the disasters were in the movie and not the movie itself. I give it one star for participation and pity only.

Absolutely Terrible
rating: 1
Don't waste your money on this sequel. It is absolutely the dumbest movie ever produced. There is not one scene that is even close to funny. The original Christmas Vacation was by far the better movie. Find something better to do with your two hours...trust me.

Christmas Vacation 2 Sucks!
rating: 1
This movie sucked! I loved the original Christmas Vacation, but can not think of one positive thing to say about the second one.

Gee, I miss Chevy.
rating: 2
Plot logic strays in this sequel to a film that hasn't been made yet. Why doesn't the bathroom ever get fixed? Why does Cousin Eddie's family keep their clothes so neat and white stranded on the island? Loved the only original scene where the giant fish pulls Eddie's boat into the island. Could survive without Eric Idle getting absurdly hurt in every scene. Disliked scenes of church hymns and prayers and censored nudity to make more of a "children's film" or sitcom out of the whole thing. Has John Hughes left our planet, because if I were him, like Eddie I might sue the boss for injury, too. Hughes and Chevy, where are you?
