Christmas Vacation 2: Cousin Eddie’s Island Adventure
National Lampoon ’s Christmas Vacationis one of the most beloved Christmas comedies because of the more ridiculous aspects of the plot of land and the mould ’s funny speech . However , National Lampoon ’s Christmas Vacation 2 : Cousin Eddie ’s Island Adventurewas a 2003 made - for - tv set motion picture that was not nearly as well received . Where the firstChristmas Vacationholds a 70 % critical and 86 % consultation score onRotten Tomatoes , its subsequence holds only a 13 % hearing musical score , according to the review aggregator . Likewise , it was theonly movie of theNational Lampoon ’s Vacationseries not to let in Chevy Chaseand Beverly D’Angelo .
Since Chase ’s Clark Griswold is the essence oftheVacationseries , and often the butt of the caper , it is difficult to make aVacationmovie work without him . Instead , however , National Lampoon ’s Christmas Vacation 2 : Cousin Eddie ’s Island Adventurefocuses on Cousin Eddie and his familywhen they get shipwreck on an uninhabited island . While it is unusual to see Chevy Chase scatty fromChristmas Vacation 2 , the moving-picture show points to one absolved understanding why Clark Griswold would n’t have made an appearance .
Christmas Vacation 2 Isn’t Centered On The Griswold Family
Cousin Eddie And His Wife Take The Lead Roles
Though there have never been any verified reports about why Chevy Chase did not appear , there are some clear breath . The most probable understanding why Chase does n’t appear is thatChristmas Vacation 2simply does not pore on the Griswolds . Though Cousin Eddie often appeared in their holiday , it would be much more difficult to explain how the Griswolds would cease up on the same abandoned island , particularly when the movie is stated from the beginning to be a spin - off about Cousin Eddie .
National Lampoon ’s Christmas Vacation has many rum character and these Cousin Eddie quote show why he ’s one of the best .
moreover , Chevy Chase had already play the lead character of Clark Griswold in all theNational Lampoon ’s Vacationmovies until that point . Thoughthe recast of their children Audrey and Rusty became a run caper , Chase and D’Angelo always appeared , and this even extended to their brief appearance in the 2015Vacationmovie . Since he already had all the otherVacationmovies under his belt , it may not have been worth it for Chase to play a backseat role in a spin - off movie .
Audrey Was The Only Griswold In Christmas Vacation 2
Dana Barron Reprised Her Role
Though Clark Griswold did not come out inChristmas Vacation 2 , one phallus of the Griswold sept did . Clark and Ellen ’s daughterAudrey is a main character inChristmas Vacation 2 . Audrey joins Cousin Eddie ’s category on the island after break up with her boyfriend , which create a suspicious tie to the Griswold family even if it is n’t Chevy Chase .
The Vacation movies detail the amusing misadventure of the Griswolds but due to a deficiency of title number , it can be tricky to know the order to take in .
Adding to the comedy , inChristmas Vacation 2,Audrey was played by Dana Barron . Barron was the original Audrey from the 1983National Lampoon ’s Vacation , though she did not come along in any of the subsequent movies . While Juliette Lewis played Audrey very well in the firstChristmas Vacation , recasting Audrey back to the original actor is a funny addition . Though Chevy Chase and other fellow member of the Griswold family may not have appeared inNational Lampoon ’s Christmas Vacation 2 , the flick is funny in its own rightfulness with its focus on the type of Cousin Eddie .
