I'll tell you why so serious

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

National Lampoon's Vacation is directed by Harold Ramis. It sees the Griswold family go on a family vacation to a water-park in California via a cross country road trip. Vacation is a fairly benign road movie. Whilst it doesn't offer anything fresh or original, what the film manages to do instead is maintain a good consistent level of humour throughout. Most of the comedy comes from Chevy Chase as the slightly naive father Clark, who gets all the best moments and punchlines.The best part of the film is the chemistry between the family. They all feel like they're genuinely part of a family. This is especially the case with Beverly D'Angelo who plays the mother Ellen, she brings a good amount of warmth and levity to the film as chaos is encompassing the family.The first half of the film is definitely the strongest part. As the film got further into it's run-time, it began to lose my attention. The film starts to drift midway through and becomes overly nonsensical. As the film entered into its final act, the slapstick humour became intolerable for me as it felt tonally inconsistent with the first half, which was somewhat over the top but still grounded in reality. In the end Vacation is a harmless comedy that has genuine moments of good humour, but gets bogged down in it's final act and becomes dull and slightly forgettable.

Vaction is about the Griswold family traveling across the USA to visit wally world only to encounter unfortunate hilarious events at every turn. Based on the magazine lampoon by John Huges it starred snl alumni Chevy Chase as the lead man and was a box office success.For good reason as the scenes are very thought out from the psycho reference when Helen takes a shower to Clark wandering the desert to find a mechanic and finds his family had been picked up and worried about him.There's a lot of heart in the script from good natured Clark who only wants his family to enjoy themselves and has little moments to share with each member recalling stories from his youth. Angela D'Angelo (Helen) plays the head strong supportive wife who stands by her man and builds up his confidence. Anthony Michael Hall and Dana Barron (Audrey and Rusty) are surprisingly talented for young stars not once over reacting or obnoxious. Each character felt fleshed out and served a purpose without being filler.The music always got the scene, sometimes adding to the humor, and was catchy.Wallyworld a play on Disneyland was a fantastic ending full of magic, rides and even an appearance from Toy Disney as Roy Wally, lol.Vacation is a treat for the while family.

The one thing I had to say about this movie is that it is a hollow one. There is no core of the story. There is no story building or creating some highlight point ... nothing.It was supposed to be a comedy movie but it failed to do so. I do not mean it has no comedy scenes because it has, but not as much as a regular comedy film should have. And the comedy scenes are not of great laugh or hilarious they are rather stale. I do not know how come this movie get above seven rating in IMDb.All in all I will not recommend it to a person who has a decent level of sense of humor.

Absolutely the worst movie of all time. It isn't possible to put into words how badly this movie sucks. It is the black hole of movies it sucks so badly light can't even escape it. It sets the standard for lemon movies worthy of complete erasure. It could be used for torture, I'm sure its regular viewing at Gitmo.The characters are so devoid of intelligence they make pond slime look smart.Don't even waste your time watching the trailer or a review.Chevy Chase will go down in history as the worst actor ever to waste film. It could be used by the medical establishment to induce vomiting.
