The original film has considerably more intelligence, plus it had Imogene Coca. Hannah Davis shows up in the Christie Brinkley role, although she is much less kindly treated. Goldstein, who also wrote the screenplay, cannot hold a candle to the late Ramis (“Caddyshack”) and Hughes. Charlie Day has a terrific comic bit as suicidal white-water raft instructor Chad.įirst-time feature directors John Francis Daley and Jonathan M. On the road, Rusty tries to get the family to join him in singing Seal’s version of “Kiss From a Rose.” If you’ve seen the film’s trailers - Who can avoid them? - you know about the revolting hot springs sequence. It doesn’t help when Stone appears in Rusty and Debbie’s bedroom in his briefs, showing off his 12-pack and packing a lot of heat, so to speak.Īs someone who recently went on a family cross-country drive, I got a kick out of the motel with blood in the tub and ball of motley-colored hair.

On a stop in Texas, Debbie allows her attraction to Audrey’s buff, cattle breeding, conservative husband Stone (Chris Hemsworth) to get the better of her. In Memphis, the Griswolds visit Debbie’s alma mater and learn that her sorority nickname was “Do Anything” Debbie. On the road, Kevin uses the car’s CB radio to accuse a possibly nuts trucker of being a rapist. Helms began his career as a Daily Show correspondent and went on to star in The Office. Ed Helms's Rusty is the star of Vacation and chronicles the misadventures of he, his wife, and his two kids as they set off to see America. But there are too many dead spots along the way. 2015's Vacation reimagined the Griswold clan for a whole new generation.

I’d like to say the movie is a comic roller coaster, as well. Rusty, who tries to fix things by crossing out “vagina” and writing “penis,” dreams of taking the whole family for a ride on Walley World’s most famous attraction, the Velociraptor Roller Coaster. One of them is writing the words “I have a vagina” on James’ acoustic guitar with a Sharpie. Their younger son Kevin (scene-stealer Steele Stebbins) bullies his more sensitive older brother James (Skyler Gisondo) in many ways. Rusty and long-suffering wife Debbie (Christina Applegate) are a happy enough couple. For reasons that make no sense, he buys a fictional Albanian super-wagon of some sort with a GPS system that gets stuck speaking angry Korean (OK, this is a funny bit) to transport them. Rusty, who is a pilot for regional airline Econoair (“We promise to win back your trust”), resolves to re-create the family cross-country trip to Walley World. Well, their son Rusty (Ed Helms in the role originated by Anthony Michael Hall) and to a lesser extent daughter Audrey (Leslie Mann in the role originated by Dana Barron) are back. You remember the Griswolds, a family made famous by director Harold Ramis, screenwriter John Hughes and stars Chevy Chase and Beverly D’Angelo back in the early 1980s. Alternately funny, riotous, cringe-worthy and finally too stupid for its own good, “Vacation” arrives, and is stolen by a kid.
