Review of Vacation (2015) by Ydnar4 — 13 Oct 2015

I did not see the original Vacation movies but I was hoping that this movie would persuade me to check out the other films, sadly the Vacation remake does not do that. The film is very robotic in its delivery and there is very little passion to this project at all.

The attempts at comedy usually fail and it relies far too much on gross out humour. I like Ed Helms and Christina Applegate in most roles and I would say that this films failure is not their fault but Ed Helms does not have the charisma to lead this film.

Chevy Chase is one of the most well respected comedy stars of all time and Helms just cannot fill his shoes. I really can't see many people enjoying this movie even if you are a fan of the original.
