Vacation (2015)

UK Release Date: 21st August 2015

Rusty Griswold takes his own family on a road trip to "Walley World" in order to spice things up with his wife and reconnect with his sons (www.imdb.com).

Director: John Francis Daley, Jonathan M. Goldstein

Starring: Ed Hemls, Christina Applegate, Skler Gisondo, Steele Stebbins

Vacation is a not-so long coming sequel of Chevy Chase's National Lampoon film of the same name. Ed Helms and his family's trip to Walley World is raucous and over-the-top, but a complete barrel of laughs. Their trip takes them on some outlandish trials, none of which are realistic. Ed Helmsdoesn't quite measure up to the rest of the family. He's the alpha male trying to do the best he can, but to no avail. Christina Applegate is the one to watch, and the son's fighting and bickering is class humour. Vacation's biggest downfall comes in not having a story. It's non-existence. There is no point to it. Just a family on a journey. Like a boring documentary, with comedy. 

2.5/5
