This series I'm really enjoying. Season 1 had some teething problems and this season just sucked me in. Chuck is trying hard to be himself but also having to admit that he has a job that he has to do. Casey and Sarah are beginning to realise that he has skills that are somewhat untapped but convincing him that he is enough is a struggle. Chuck is trying to get himself out of being the Intersect, to get it out of his head and while he does manage this the consequences are interesting and what show more he does next is even more interesting.

It does come across that the actors are having a blast and really enjoying themselves. Having worked retail I really get what was going on and how realistic that it all is. Exaggerated but realistic.

Acting: 4.0; Theme: 4.5; Content: 3.0; Language: 2.0; Overall: 4.0

Clark Griswold (Chevy Chase) must have the best and most decorative house on the block when his parents and his wife's (Beverly D'Angelo) parents come for the Christmas visit, but this doesn't come without many hitches.

This was a funny Christmas film, but it had way too much vulgarity and inappropriate content. It used God's name in vain at least 3-4 times and had many uses of vulgarity. It's too bad the producers felt the show more need to insert this level of profane content into a holiday movie. I would not recommend because of the above mentioned items.

The jokes never quite hit, and they don't feel as organic as they did in the first installment.
This movie is best watched by playing the DVD or VHS at home. It loses a lot on the TV version. Aptly portrays the stress of having a whole family at one''s house for the holidays while giving the best laughs of the season at the same time.
