When Cousin Eddie joined Clark Griswold and his family for National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, the movie quickly becaume a holiday institution. An institution, of course, is where many think Cousin Eddie should reside. Randy Quaid again plays crude but lovable Eddie and Miriam Flynn returns as his wife in another comic skid on the Vacation banana peel. In a way, Christmas has always been a test of survival for Eddie and his brood. And that's truer than ever when they receive an expenses-paid holiday tour of the South Pacific and end up shipwrecked on a remote island. Fred Willard, Ed Asner, Eric Idle in a zany cameo and more join in this season of comfort and joy. Which means little comfort for Eddie. And lots of joy for Vacation fans.

This movie is not thaaat bad. I think it is mainly considered such a flop because it could have been a lot better. The obvious minimal budget is one problem, but the writing and directing leave much to be desired. The cast is okay, with the original Audrey (Dana Barron) returning, the knockout "island-girl from Milwaukee" Sung Hi Lee as Muka Laka Miki, and Ed Asner along for the ride as the bourbon guzzling Uncle Nick. There are some funny moments scattered along the way. But most of the attempts at laughs fall kind of flat. All in all, it's just not a very well crafted movie. Set your expectations low and you might not be too disappointed.

Reviewer: Thomas J. Slade,
This is a very hard to find video. Not as good as Christmas Vaction 1, but still Cousin Eddie is a classic!

I love National Lampoons Vacation movies.
I had never heard of this one so I had to get it.
I really like Randy Quaid and he is just as goofy as ever.
You must have a sense of humor to watch this.
I must admit if Chevy Chase & Beverly DeAngelo was in it it would have been even funnier.
But its good to watch
Stick with the original!!!

Reviewer: Pumpkin Man,
Christmas Vacation is a classic, but this 'sequel' kind of ruins the moment. They never show Clark, or Ellen. They do, however have the original Audrey Griswold from the original Vacation. After Eddie loses his job, he gets a free vacation to an island. Soon, Eddie and his family get shipwrecked on the island. They all decide to celebrate Christmas on the island. I probably wouldn't recommend CHRISTMAS VACATION 2: COUSIN EDDIE'S ISLAND ADVENTURE!!!
Not the best Lampoom movie

In this Christmas Vacation, Uncle Eddy is the star of the show. Chevy Chase (Clark) doesn't appear in it one bit. Audrey does return, though. The plot is that while on a tour of an island Uncle Eddy and the gang get marooned on an island. There they have to work to survive. They need each other. It all turns out to be a pretty good film. However, this does not even compare to the other National Lampoom films. And it certainly doesn't compare to the first Christmas Vacation. Sure it does have its laughs and funny parts, but it still doesn't come close to the others.
