This has to be the worst sequal of all time. I wasn't hopeful when I realised it was about cousin Eddie and not the rest of the Griswolds but Randy Quaids character in the rest of the series was one of the better ones so I thought I'd give it a try. Not a single line to laugh at. It could well have been written by the monkey in the opening sequences. At one point they actually used the line 'look at all those people down there - they look like Ants' 'They are ants dad - we haven't taken off yet'
Instead of cousin Eddie living in a hovel with a tribe of a dozen redneck children he is living in a respectable house with a single annoying smartass child who knows everything.
He then gets bribed with a free island vacation and the only way they can tie the film up as Christmas Vacation 2 is by having all the characters say 'Merry Christmas' at every opportunity.
The only time I laughed was watching the trailers from two of the previous vacation series.
Difference in class? - Wider than the grand canyon. Leave this film alone.

Christmas is notoriously a time to churn out movies that would never normally see the light of day, but even seasonal goodwill is no excuse to watch Santa Claus Conquers the Martians. The 1964 film, which sees Saint Nick get kidnapped by Martians upset that their children have no-one to give them presents, has been voted the biggest Christmas turkey of all time in a new poll. Pia Zadora stars in the Nicholas Webster-directed film, which only ever made it to video. It tops a list, drawn up by... Read more
