Director : John Francis Daley & Jonathan M Goldstein
Running Time : 99 mins
In a desperate attempt to bring his family closer together, commercial pilot Rusty Griswold (Helms) decides to revisit his childhood by taking them on a cross-country trip to Walley World, where his parents took him and his sister when they were young. Unfortunately he seems to have forgotten all the things that went horribly wrong on their original trip, and is doomed to repeat every bad thing that happened in all new ways.
I enjoyed the original Vacation movies, even the straight to video Vegas Vacation had its merits, but this is a very different creature, though still quite entertaining in parts. Although it has some of the disaster-prone humour of the originals, it focuses far more on making jokes out of slapstick nonsense than on witty banter or situational humour. People falling off cliffs and getting killed in car accidents is the level of comedy found here, which can work if it isn’t the focus of the film. Still, it’s a decent enough road movie with some okay moments of comedy.
