Chevy Chase has a string of very bad luck leading up to Christmas while trying to keep his bickering family together. Chase's slapstick style is often hilarious, but can get a bit predictable. The best moments are at the Christmas dinner table, especially after the arrival of the forgetful Aunt Bethany and her cigar-chomping, toupee-wearing husband. It can be rather crude at times, but for the most part is able to balance it with authentic insights into the absurdity of family and holiday traditions.
