Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
jimdebcooper Surprisingly hysterical. Great cameos and crude humor.
jirunkaappleid The headline speaks for all. I love the Griswold movies and this one was so far the best comedy movie in at least 15 years with so many unpredictable moments. I don't laugh easily as well as i don't get scared easily at all. I loved this movie
Wuchak RELEASED IN 2015 and written/directed by John Francis Daley & Jonathan Goldstein, "Vacation" details the misadventures of Rusty Griswold (Ed Helms) & his family when he decides to take 'em on a car trip from the Chicago area to Walley World in California. Christina Applegate plays the mother while Skyler Gisondo & Steele Stebbins play the sons. Leslie Mann appears as Ed's sister and Chris Hemsworth her hunky hubby, whom the Griswolds visit in Texas.The plot is great for a sequel to the classic 1983 film with Chevy Chase & Beverly D'Angelo, who appear here in the last act. Unfortunately, I was turned off right out of the gate by the younger Griswold's crude verbiage and non-jokes, which seemed more fitting for a nasty sitcom like "Two Broke Girls." Thankfully, the punk has a story arc where he eats some humble pie later.Despite that negative, there are about four laugh-out-loud sequences: The sorority episode, parts of the Crandall segment (which feature Mann & Hemsworth), the howling hilarious raft sequence and the closing Walley World brouhaha & roller coaster fiasco. Have you ever waited 2-3 hours for a freakin' roller coaster ride? It's ridiculous. In addition, the flick scores pretty well on the female front, particularly (to be expected) during the sorority segment.While I could do without the tasteless non-humor and profanity (mostly from the little punk), I found this one far funnier than the original movie. Plus the way it supports family and marriage underneath the zany laughs is almost heartwarming. Too bad the creators felt they had to add so much foulness because (1.) it's not funny and (2.) it wasn't necessary. THE FILM RUNS 99 minutes and was shot in Chicago, Georgia (Atlanta, Covington & Six Flags in Austell), North Carolina (Charlotte), Utah (Kanab), Arizona (Marble Canyon) and California (San Francisco).GRADE: B- (6.5/10)
tsm_pi One of the worst movies I've ever seen in my life.Gross, vulgar, immature and so predictable at the same time.I'm embarrassed when I think of the actors that even participated.Worse part? People liked it. OMG I fear for the West. Scratch that. I fear for humanity that anyone found this movie even remotely funny... :P
