What Others Said
r96sk:
<em>'Christmas Vacation 2: Cousin Eddie’s Island Adventure'</em>... 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 <em>'Snow Bride'</em>, 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 <em>'National Lampoon's European Vacation'</em> - 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.
