If you loved Benny & Joon, try National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Jeremiah S. Chechik, and they sit in Comedy territory. If that's the register that drew you to Benny & Joon, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation is
Snowflakes fall on a chaotic suburban lawn, a tangled string of lights. Clark's family gathers, his patience wears thin, a station wagon packed with luggage. Chechik finds humor in holiday chaos.
