One of the all time great Christmas Movies

It captures the awkwardness of having to reunite with family members, as well as the financial burdens of the time of year.
Add to that a great cast, great music, lots of jokes and a happy ending and you have one hell of a good movie.

If you're a Chevy Chase fan it was pretty damn hilarious.
Clark: So, when did you get the tenament on wheels? Eddie: Oh, that uh, that there's an RV. Yeah, yeah, I borrowed it off a buddy of mine. He took my house, I took the RV. It's a good looking vehicle, ain't it? Clark: Yeah, it looks so nice parked in the driveway. [Raises glass to his mouth] Eddie: Yeah, it sure does. But, don't you go falling in love with it now, because, we're taking it with us when we leave here next month. [Clark nearly chokes on his drink]

I actually thought Chevy was the least entertaining part of the movie. Randy Quaid steals the show and virtually every sequence he's involved in is great. Very quotable film, though.

Depends your tastes in comedy. I like Chase's dry delivery and whit. Randy Quaid was great as well though.
