So we kinda gone a bit away from the Griswold family. Instead we follow their Cousin Eddie, a somewhat loser that can be outsmart by a monkey. Just before Christmas Eddie loses his job. He comes back to beg for his job when a monkey bites him. To get out of a lawsuit they pay off Eddie with a payed Christmas vacation on in the South Pacific.. Given that Eddie is well an idiot off cause everything goes wrong, They go sailing and end up stranded on an island. Since Christmas is right around the corner its up to Eddie and the family to make a proper Christmas.
So apparently I just live in a wrong country.. at least when it comes to YouTube.. stupid thing won't let me watch the trailer >.<
anyway... So being a Dane I'm used to that cold thing called snow being a part of Christmas.. know that's not the standard all around but it's just a i don't know what Christmas is to me.. kinda like Christmas smells like Cinnamon. So watching a Christmas movie without the snow was well a bit weird. However.. what the movies missing in snow it makes up for in fun. Kinda wished I watched this one yesterday cause it is so much more fun. Mostly cause they are just so unlucky and yet they feel lucky.
So because YouTube is CRUEL! I been nice and found this picture for you
Merry Christmas from the Tuttle family :)
Out of all the Vacation movies, this is without doubt the worst! Not only is Chevy Chase and the Griswolds absent - apart from Audrey of course - it has nothing to do with the others. They could've easily called this movie "Christmas Island Adventure" and renamed Randy Quaid's character "Bob", and it would've made just as much relevance.
ReplyDeleteThe acting is poor, the script is worse, and every joke falls flat; none of them work, and half the time, it's cringeworthy. And not only that, it doesn't feel like a Christmas movie. There's no place for sand and palm trees in a Christmas film; that's why none of the old holiday classics are set in a desert.
