My fiance and I thought we travel back in memory lane and rent this movie. National Lampoon's European Vacation was not as funny as we remebered. The one part I do recall that was pretty funny was when Clark (played by Chevy Chase), and the family began their tour of Europe and he had to drive using the right side of the car. He not only ran into two cars but ran over a man riding a bike who seemed not at all tramatized, bleeding profusly from his rist refusing medical attention. The movie was not bad just not as funny as I remembered. I'll tell you whats hiliarious, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, classic.

And we are back with another inconsistant family. Mother and father are the same, but the kids are different again. Now Rusty is a 15 year old, but don't worry, 4 years later he will be about 10. Yeah, apparently they decided to make the movies go back in time. This movie is about as good as the other one, I liked the Monty Python guy in it. Plus, I found it interesting that the man in the bathroom is Hagrid from Harry Potter, I thought he looked familiar, check it out. They also had the worst look-a-likes for Princess Diana, Prince Charles, and the Queen, horrible look-a-likes. Other than that, didn't find a great deal entertaining about this movie, just another of the Vacation movies.

Avoid this film at all costs. I have never seen a comedy with so few funny moments.

I am convinced that Chevy Chase is mentally ill - - and THAT'S what makes this movie worth watching. He is such a nut !! His kids are typical whiny and brain dead tourists, too. His wife has ...

I just don't think it was directed very well, it wasn't very funny, and the kids were anoying. I really wanted to like it, I love Chevy Chase, but this was not good.

It's not so bad that it's hard to watch, it's just mostly unfunny. The third entry in the "Vacation" series.
