Not as good as "Animal house"but right there with "Stripes"and Ghostbusters,and Twins and Kindergarten cops and Caddyshack as classic comedies I've reviewed in the past.Harold Ramis,ether wrote or directed all those films except Animal house and directed this one.The sight jokes and story are outrageous and the cast fits perfectly right down to the cameos especially Eddie Bracken as Roy Walley,a veiled imitation of Walt Disney. But its Chevy Chases film and his portrayal of Art Griswold is a comedic classic.Anyone married with children or even thinking about it,should get some laughs as well as tips on what NOT to do.Great music and the road trip scenes especially at the Grand Canyon,which is my favorite,abound in the film.The film was released in 1983 and runs only 98 minutes.I took 1 star off for politically incorrect humor,but hey,thats comedy.It's always funny till its about you.Trailer URL follows the pix and a IMDB summary is below.
The Griswold family's cross-country drive to the Walley World theme park proves to be much more arduous than they ever anticipated.
