Movie Reviews of National Lampoon's Vacation (20th Anniversary Special Edition)

Movie Review: Chevy Chase At His Best
Summary: 5 Stars

Vacation is about a family's cross-country adventures to Wally World. Chevy Chase as Clark Griswold is hilarious along with Beverly D'Angelo as his wife. This simple family encounters detour after detour to finally reach the amusement park in California only to find it is closed. Some nudity along with some language, film is still tame by today's standards. Would recommend along with Caddyshack as my two favorite Chevy Chase fims.

Summary of National Lampoon's Vacation (20th Anniversary Special Edition)

Vacation paved the way for the John Hughes movie dynasty of the 1980s. Written by Hughes (who would go on to write, direct, and/or produce The Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Uncle Buck, Home Alone, and so on) and directed by Harold Ramis (Caddyshack, Groundhog Day, Stuart Saves His Family), the first Vacation movie introduces us to the all-American Griswold family: father Clark (Chevy Chase), mother Ellen (Beverly D'Angelo), son Rusty (future Hughes staple Anthony Michael Hall), and daughter Audrey (Dana Barron). They all pile into the car for a cross-country road trip to Walley World, stopping along the way to view the world's biggest ball of twine. John Candy, Imogene Coca, and Randy Quaid (as yokel Cousin Eddie) pop up along the way. The movie was a big hit, and was followed by several sequels--National Lampoon's European Vacation, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, and National Lampoon's Vegas Vacation--but this one is still probably the freshest and funniest of the bunch. --Jim Emerson
The Griswolds have planned all year for a great summer vacation. From their suburban Chicago home across America to the wonders of Wally World fun park in California every step of the way has been carefully plotted. Except a few hundred hysterical exceptions. National Lampoon's Vacation is a sublimely goofy comedy thanks largely to Chevy Chase in his signature role of Clark Griswold. The inept but sincere Clark takes misfortune in stride. So what if they lose all their money when their new car gets wrecked. And it's not too bad when Cousin Eddie (Randy Quaid) deposits sour Aunt Edna (Imogene Coca) in their back seat for a lift to Phoenix. But what really keeps Clark's eyes on the road is a flirtation with a mysterious blonde (Christie Brinkley) in a red Ferrari. For those along on the ride National Lampoon's Vacation called "fast funny satire" by The New York Times' Janet Maslin is a jolly jaunt.Running Time: 98 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY UPC: 085392753529
