Review of Vacation (2015) by Lukechristiansc — 29 Jul 2015
"Vacation" will give you hearty laughs and a bit of charm, the film does not copy off the same jokes that National Lampoon's Vacation had but it does do a pretty solid job of attributing the first one.
The problem with this movie is it forgets the the charm, wit, and heart, that the Griswald family use to, but Helms does have Chase's charisma and like ability as the goofy dumb-witted father and does a fine job filling in Chase's shoes.
This R-rated satire is pure gold and shares it with the PG-13 heart, but some of the mean spirited jokes didn't work also some of the some jokes did fall flat. With Ed Helms as Rusty son of Clark (Chevy Chase) and Ellen (Beverly D'Angelo), is all grown up and he takes his wife Debbie (Christina Applegate) and his two sons James (Skyler Gisondo) and Kevin (Steele Stebbins) to Wally World.
It's not better than the original, but does step it up with raucous R rating, but at least it does have some of the heart I laughed my ass off at it.
