Against the ardent wishes of his wife, eleven-year-old son, and sixteen-year-old daughter, Albert Snider (Judge Reinhold) is determined to have a festive family holiday. Albert doesn't seem to realize that his kids would rather stick needles in their eyes then spend time with their stuffy dad, and his wife is equally fed up by their dull life. When he receives an invitation from his long lost cousin Woodrow (Bryan Cranston), he decides to take his family out to the country for a down-home family holiday. However, Cousin Woodrow and his family turn out to be nuttier than a holiday fruitcake! What follows is a full course meal of nonstop laughs and holiday hilarity when the neurotic 'burbs clash with the hippy hicks from hell in National Lampoon's most outrageous family misadventure yet!
Editor's Note
The Sniders live a rather mundane existence, and a few of them--with the notable exception of patricarch Albert--are getting fed up with it. While his kids would do anything to avoid it, Albert is determined that they spend some quality time together during the holiday season, and it is to this end that he drags everyone on a family trip to visit the relatives. Albert's recently rediscovered cousin Woodrow has invited the family out to his farm for Christmas, and Albert readily accepts. The Sniders are prepared for the dullest Christmas ever, but come to find out their country cousins are crazier than they could have ever imagined! What results is an hilarious culture clash as the suburban pseudo-sophisticates attempt to navigate the volatile territory of a hippy-dippy hickville presided over by their own flesh and blood!
