Vacation

Vacation is the continuation of the highly successful Nation Lampoon's Vacation. This one follows the story of Rusty Giswold taking his family to Walley World. The film stars Ed Helms as Rusty Christina Applegate as his wife and Leslie Mann as Audrey Giswold.

This a remake and continuation of the series and it does that to a key. The film never loses that over the top misadventure of driving to a theme park. The one thing that I personally was happy with that it very much feels like a Vacation film, but it does have its own feel due to how gross-out meters changed because of other films. It does make you laugh a lot of the time, but it is all the same type of jokes. I can tell that this would be a good film to go see with friends. Just because everyone can enjoy it once. If you are a fan of the film series there are enough easter eggs that you will enjoy it just for that alone.

Now this is going to be a super short review because there really isn't much to talk about. This film is going to change you if you don't like these types of movies. Run away. You won't change your mind if you see this film and it will just be a waste of your time. I thought this film had its moments, but the trailer gave away to many of the good jokes and this doesn't have many quotable lines. I still had fun with this for what it was, but I think next time I will pass a Vacation.

RATING
1.5 out 4 Ticket Stubs
