Review of Vacation (2015) by Richard S — 18 Jun 2017

Ok. This movie isn't awful. I didn't think it was one of the worst movies of 2015 but it definitely was no where near one of the best. This movie is based off of the original Vacation movie that came out in 1983 which was an amazing movie.

The original had heart. This movie doesn't really have a heart. The cast is ok. Ed Helms wasn't bad in this movie but I don't think it was his best. Christina Applegate was good in this movie but she wasn't enough to hold up the movie.

The kids are just ok. They weren't anything like the original kids. There were some funny jokes in this movie. I actually had some good laughs in this movie. But there just weren't enough funny moments in this movie.

Another thing about the jokes is that they were super raunchy. It was just way too much. It was just crazy. This movie did have some good cameos but those still weren't enough. I really did want to like this movie but it just failed at trying to get me to love it.

Overall this is just an ok movie. It really disappointed me. There were some good moments and some good cameos but they weren't enough to help this movie. This movie doesn't really have the heart of the original and it comes off way too raunchy on some of the jokes.

I'm just gonna give this a C+.
