it will be a blue christmas indeed if you subject youre family to this . i love the original movie and and this one be not worthy of be it sequel . actually and for all intent and purpose and it be not it sequel . only one character from the original cast return . grant and that character happen to be the hilarious cousin eddie and but he simply be not hilarious be the protagonist of a movie . his niche be that of the wacky relative who perform zany antic alongside chevy chase . chevy chase be need in this film for it to be a success and and he definitely be not there . as far a i be concern and a movie be not a vacation movie unless good ole clark griswold be at the helm .
