Vacation


The next generation of Griswolds is at it again—and on the road for another ill-fated adventure. Following in his father’s footsteps and hoping for some much-needed family bonding, a grown-up Rusty Griswold (Ed Helms) surprises his wife, Debbie (Christina Applegate), and their two sons with a cross-country trip back to America’s “favorite family fun park,” Walley World.

I have a massive emotional attachment to the original Vacation films.  Basically, my dad is Clark Griswold.  Those movies are considered classics in my family and are quoted on a regular basis.  When I heard that they were passing the torch to son Rusty Griswold, I was nervous about it just being a lame and half assed attempt to reboot.  Happily, I was wrong.  This movie was pretty damn funny and had great family messages through all the gross visuals and some pretty crude dialogue.  

I would definitely recommend people checking this out.  It's a bit raunchy at times but pretty funny and a worthy entry in the Vacation series.
