An insightful critique exploring the plight of the shrinking middle class in post-Reagan suburban communities at the expense of encroaching globalization and billionaire brain poison. In many ways, a movie for our time. Good squirrel bit, too.
"Hey Griswold. Where do you think you're gonna put a tree that big?"
"Bend over and I'll show you."

“GRACE!”
“Grace? Grace passed away thirty years ago.”
“No, they want you to say grace!”
*shakes head, evident confusion*
“Like the blessing!”
“Oh...”
*nods head and gets in prayer formation, everyone follows suit, soon each person at the table has fingers intertwined, heads bowed, ready for the aforementioned grace*
*a few seconds pass*
“I pledge allegiance...to the flag...”

Going to bat for this as an all-timer farce, for its upper-middle-class skewering just gets funnier by the year. It plays with perspective really well, with the yuppies (Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Nicholas Guest, no less) providing a wake-up call of the pure absurdity occurring next door. If they weren't there, Clark Griswold's shenanigans would soon occur in such succession that you'd grow tired, but lines like "And why is the carpet all wet TODD?!" "I don't KNOW Margo." just bring the chaos full circle in satisfying fashion. Its nostalgia for the past is especially pointed; best to laugh and move on.
