Vegas Vacation

Pros: Funny movie with familiar characters. Cousin Eddie is hilarious.
Cons: It does get a little silly at times.

Over the years, I have seen all of the Vacation movies featuring the Griswold family. The movies, especially the last two, get very silly at times, but I do enjoy watching them. I like to watch silly movies sometimes. They can be a good way to ...

Pros: Funny, funny, funny.
Cons: None.

Before my first trip to Las Vegas, Shawn bought Vegas Vacation for us to watch to get us even more excited than we were. Believe it or not, this was actually the first of the Chevy Chase vacation movies I had seen. Shawn was surprised to learn I ...

Pros: Randy Quaid as Cousin Eddie. All of the Griswolds.
Cons: It's devoid of any flaws in my opinion.

This movie is full of juvenile and often tasteless humor that exploits character stereotypes. Two girlfriends (so far) haven’t enjoyed it at all and have even been highly critical of it. I’ve seen it five times and get the giggles just thinking about the...

Pros: Great cast, entertaining plot, Las Vegas hot spots.
Cons: I dare you to find a single flaw, go ahead, I dare you.

Touted as the best film in the National Lampoon series, Vegas Vacation follows the life and times of the ever eventful Griswold family as they make their way though Las Vegas. Now, if this were any other ordinary family, chances are you...

Pros: Hilarious and fun.
Cons: Some situations are very unrealistic.

I am a HUGE fan of all of the Griswold Vacation Films, but Vegas Vacation has become my absolute favorite! My husband and I saw in in the Theater and liked it, but have seen it several times on video and cable now and have grown to LOVE this fun...

Pros: It's Las Vegas!
Cons: Slow plot

This movie is another tale in the adventures of Clark Griswold and family, originally started in National Lampoon's "Vacation." Clark Griswold (played by Chevy Chase) is always on the lookout for that perfect family vacation. Unfortunately, that is...

Pros: funny, exciting, funny and funny
Cons: none

The back of the jacket cover says "When Clark Griswold puts his mind to something, we soon realize he hasn't got one." This, epinion readers, is a fact.

This fourth vacation Griswold takes with his wife and family is (in my epinion)...

Pros: Randy Quaid's hilarious portrayal of Cousin Eddie.
Cons: Some tedious scenes, like the leak at the Hoover Dam.

Out of all the "Vacation" movies, I believe that "Vegas Vacation" is the most under-rated. I love the original, and at least one viewing of "Christmas Vacation" is an annual tradition at our house, but none can make me laugh as hard as I do when I watch ...

Pros: Very funny! Bad luck may be on Chase's side, but it isn't that bad!
Cons: None.

Ethan Embray, Marisol Nichols, Beverly D'Angelo, Chevy Chase, Randy Quaid, and Wayne Newton were fabulous!

The family this time, takes a flight rather than drive as they previously did in their other movies. They are all very excited and...

Pros: Very funny, amusing plot, Randy Quaid himself (Eddie).
Cons: A little repetitious of the other movies, terrible acting by Wayne Newton!

One of the final installments of National Lampoon's slapstick family, and the Griswalds are still going strong! This time, they're headed towards fantastic Las Vegas. The movie is full of plenty of funny scenes and good scenery in the desert of...

Pros: Happy, funny, and clean fun for everybody.
Cons: Poor special effects.

This comedy is a light and peppy movie that will put a smile on your face no matter what. It is about a couple that go to Vegas to have a vacation and get remarried with their teenage kids. The happy vacation does not last since there are their...

Pros: Wayne Newton fans get significant air time
Cons: Just not funny

The first was great, the sequel was O.K., the third one was a comeback, this one stinks!

There are a few good moments in this movie. Cousin Eddie (Randy Quaid) is back and has the only funny bits. But those bits aren't that funny.

...

Pros: Solid Cast, Screenplay, Great Setting, Cameos, In-Depth Look Into Vegas
Cons: Randy Quaid, Mediocre Jokes

Movie Review: Vegas Vacation

Overall Grade: B+



Plot: Clark Griswold has taken his family on zany trips before, but he's never had one so crazy as this one. Clark gets a bonus at work after his invention gets a patent,...
