It's a lot of work to make Christmas happen

Chevy Chase very much was crazy

They kidnap an exec though. At least a few bonus points for that.

When I was a kid, I thought people who lived like that were just on TV. Middle class existence was as relevant to my experience as robot maids and talking cars.
Honestly I'm still a little suspicious. Hollywood contrivances are a history of how we think of ourselves, not of how we are.

They basically mind their own business the whole movie until Clark busts up their dining room!
They are a bit snobby, but really…
-
Cousin Eddy did that all on his own. Clark was too busy screaming at his family about not being able to pay for a pool.

Die hard and home alone 1/2 are the objectively superior Christmas movies

I'm actually rewatching it now, and Clark was minding his own business after getting the tree and Todd makes a snide comment about the size of the tree unprovoked, and Clark just bounced back at em. Then their next scene when Clark is putting up lights they kinda low-key hope he hurts himself.
No idea who exactly started the illwill between the neighbors but the yuppie couple certainly aren't played as the innocent victims

I liked the grandma in this movie
-
He has a great job, but still overspends because he wants to be seen as someone more than he is, and the only way he knows to prove his worth is by purchasing things. He can't afford what he already has, and is relying on an uncertain bonus just to cover what he already spent.
The only time he really gets mad, is when his stuff gets broken or laughed at.

The story is about how his capitalist boss cut his wages so he couldn’t afford to give his family a Christmas gift. Now can you relate?
