National Lampoon's Vacation

Pros: Funny, entertaining movie
Cons: Silly at times. Certain things weren't funny.

Every year, people go on vacations. Most of the time, things go well and the trips are enjoyable. Sometimes, things can go wrong. National Lampoon's Vacation showed how the Griswold family dealt with a bad vacation. Clark ...

Pros: Chevy Chase at his finest and jokes galore
Cons: DVD extras are slightly disappointing

I don’t know if there was a funnier man working in movies during the eighties than Chevy Chase. He had string after string of hilarious movies. Starting with the classic Caddyshac k in 1980 ...

Pros: Funny and easy to relate to.
Cons: None.

I saw this movie when I was in Junior High, and I knew that I had met a family that I could relate to in SO many ways! We have all had those family vacations that start of with promise- the luggage is packed, the picnic basket made up, and the car is...

Pros: Genuinely Funny and Entertaining, Story Never Drags
Cons: Maybe a Bit Cheesy

I've never been a fan of National Lampoon's brand of comedy. This is due mostly with the fact that the modern films are little more than wasted screwball efforts. Among National Lampoon's more popular entries are the 'Vacation' series. These just happen ...

Pros: Brings back memories
Cons: Brings back memories

National Lampoon's Vacation is sure to go down in history as one of the most hysterically funny documentaries ever made. Okay, so it's not quite accurate to call this a documentary, but it might just as well have been. Anyone who's ever taken a ...

Pros: Great Movie, Perfect Cast, Hilarious.
Cons: May seem a bit dated. Has some mature content that makes the movie "Rated R".

Vacation is a tricky word; kind of like a perquisite given by a vendor without knowing what strings are attached. Most people get excited over first hearing the word “vacation” pronounced because they mentally picture an odyssey of adventure - ...

Pros: lots of laughs

Pros: pure comedy in its finest form
Cons: -

This fantastic Chevy Chase farce is just another one of those pull-from-the-shelf comedy classics that I just can't help but love.. anything that makes me laugh THIS much deserves to be viewed way more than once. I remember it wasn't always like that for...

Pros: Great laughter, great scenes to watch.
Cons: None.

The man is shopping around for a brand new car because the one he is currently driving is in no condition to be driven anywhere and so, he goes to a car dealer and tells the sales person that he is looking for a new car and so, he was asked to wait. He...

Pros: very very funny
Cons: not many

Out of the collective experiences of a nation, National Lampoon’s Vacation1 is a tale about the uniquely modern phenomena of the nuclear family on wheels, which encompasses not just the destination but the departure and the points in between. It is about...

Pros: Aunt Edna
Cons: Cousin Eddie's shoes

Best National Lampoon movie to date! This is another one of my most favorite movies of the 1980's. It stars the Griswold family, a sort of nerd-ish suburban family, on a quest to visit the great Wally World theme park. Clark decides they should drive...

Pros: Classic moments, strong John Hughes script
Cons: Spawned a couple bad sequels (not counting Christmas Vacation)

Just before his assault on teen moviedom, John Hughes wrote this ‘80s classic, directed by Harold Ramis. You know Hughes was involved somehow because a pre-pubescent Anthony Michael Hall plays the son of Chevy Chase, which isn’t something that would...

Pros: Hilarious movie!!
Cons: Lots of profanity and innuendo

"National Lampoon's Vacation" is another one of those guilty pleaures. Yes, it's crude, and vulgar, and rude. It's also hilarious. Anyone who has ever taken a family vacation will see something familiar in this movie, exaggerated though it...
