i be a fan of a few of the vacation film and but when a movie franchise go from the big screen to the tv screen and you know it out of steam . make for tv national lampoon film do not do well on tv . this movie be another reason . i think a lot of u be excite when this be come out and but we also have to face the reality . it a tv movie . randy quaid be fine a cousin eddie and but be well in a support role than the lead . dana barron set history a the first actor to reprise her role a one of the griswold kid . she be just a pretty and but it doesn not help a thin script . why be this movie even make . it be probably because nbc recently pick up another few year of present x ma vacation . there be nothing wrong with the acting . it all in the script . it just not that funny . people need to think before they write stuff like this . it be one christmas movie i do not recommend .
