Cousin eddie movie11/23/2023 ![]() So, at least they tried to maintain some connection to the others. The rest of their children are living with their grandparents and their daughter is still stripping in Vegas. OK, we begin with Third (Jake Thomas), the son of Eddie and Catherine and the only one of their children that is intelligent. The fact that we have these particular people back gives us cause for excitement, but they had Simmons write it. Randy Quaid returns as “Cousin Eddie” and Miriam Flynn is back as his wife, Catherine. She does what she can in this role, but she isn’t given much to work with. She was also in DEATH WISH 4: THE CRACKDOWN…that’s where I initially remembered her from, but then I realized she was the original Audrey. We do have some of the cast of the original 1983 NATIONAL LAMPOONS VACATION, including Dana Barron, reprising her role as Audrey after 20 years away from it. ![]() The film is a reunion film, more or less. This movie has inspired me like no other film could. I never use the term “shit bag” to describe a film. Unfortunately, this film has zero redeeming qualities and is one of the most unfunny shit bags I’ve ever watched. So, they started out with good groundwork to follow up on the successful and funny NATIONAL LAMPOON’S CHRISTMAS VACATION, and the characters are already built in with actors that understand them and how they operate. Now, the writer, Matty Simmons, of this also wrote the blockbuster: BABY HUEY’S GREAT EASTER ADVENTURE. I wonder if I should end my review right there, but since I was a trooper and sat through NATIONAL LAMPOON’S CHRISTMAS VACATION 2: COUSIN EDDIE’S ISLAND ADVENTURE, I feel that I need to share the pain with you, the readers.
