Review of Vacation (2015) by Private U — 03 Nov 2015

I loved the first movie. I completely adored it! It got some hysterical laughs out of me. This one is somewhat close to the old one. It's not as funny. Ed Helms is not Chevy Chase and won't be ever. Charlie Day was funnier, even in a single scene. He's not the man for the part, but it shows that Ed Helms cannot support a movie on his own.

I feel that the cast around him was also not up to the task. The script was OK, but there were moments when you felt that more laughs would get out of them (like in the explosion scene), but they didn't. That's sad for a comedy.

You may watch it but it's nothing special. Humour is vulgar and disgusting at some parts, which was not by kind of poison. So, overall, it's better to see the old one than the new. A good, decent effort but nothing more than that. A better casting was in order...
