The review of this Movie prepared by Jack Bauer




The third installment in the National Lampoon vacation series, finds the Griswolds celebrating Christmas with other family members coming from elsewhere. When Clark finds out that he won't receive a holiday bonus, he loses his mind. Clark also plugs too many lights in the house, and sets the tree on fire. And the movie ends with the whole family singing The Star-Spangled Banner. This is a deserving, if a little crazy, holiday classic.
