r96 s 'Christmas Vacation 2: Cousin Eddie’s Island Adventure'... terrible movie, straight up. It only lasts for 82 minutes, but boy is it a rather painful 82 minutes. It was, of course, to be expected, everything about this screams awful and it unfortunately doesn't let you down. I am someone who didn't enjoy Randy Quaid as Eddie Johnson in the previous flicks, so given he goes from supporting cast to lead actor I was probably always going to dislike this. I'm always open-minded pre-watch though and have been proven wrong before, but not on this occasion. Elsewhere on the cast, Dana Barron - the original Audrey from the 1983 film - makes a surprise reappearance as Audrey. I only realised after watching that aforementioned film that she was in 2013's 'Snow Bride', a personal favourite Xmas flick; in this I can see Doria in her. Ed Asner, Fred Willard and Eric Idle - the only true glimmer of light in the very disappointing 'National Lampoon's European Vacation' - also feature in this 2003 made-for-television movie. It isn't one I'd call for you to watch, it is this franchise's worst by some distance. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/06/25 Full Review Audience Member This movie is the pinnacle of the National Lampoons vacations Saga. It is a must watch. Don’t deny your family this classic comedy. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/25/24 Full Review Carol S I made the mistake of renting this movie and although I’m dying trying to get thru this horrible flick, I paid for it, and I’m going to watch it til the end. This movie should be burned and never spoken of again. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 12/24/24 Full Review Moose P To award National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation 2: Cousin Eddie's Island Adventure with the title of the greatest film of all time might, at first, seem like an unorthodox assertion. Unveiled in 2003 as a direct-to-TV sequel to the cherished National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, the film has long resided in the shadow of its predecessor. However, this misconstrued gem deserves a reevaluation—not for what it isn’t, but for what it is: a comedic, charming, and life-changing piece of holiday cinema. Its unparalleled commitment to comedic perfection, amazing narrative choices, and the undeniable magnetism of Randy Quaid's performance amalgamate to develop a cinematic experience like no other. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/06/24 Full Review Mike C I would love to know what the people who thought this movie was a good idea are doing for work these days Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/23/24 Full Review jeff s Horrible movie. Randy Quaid is great as the second guy, playing off someone else. He can not carry a movie by himself Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/28/24 Full Review Read all reviews
