National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation / Reviews
The New York Times
The new film does little more than reintroduce these familiar characters and let them get on one another's nerves in earnest.
Full reviewRoger Ebert
Sequence after sequence seems to contain all the necessary material, to be well on the way toward a payoff, and then it somehow doesn't work.

BBC
As always the visual gags are more prevalent then the verbal ones, and are lit up in neon so you can't miss them.
