Personally, it's my favorite out of the four Vacation films. Many people don't agree with me, however.

While it's very much a retread, it succeeds in following up the first film's humor with more in a similar vein.

Another great Vacation movie. Typical dumb tourist antics in Eurpoe, and it still works.

...the film is about as brainless as the Griswalds themselves.

Probably the worst of the series. Still provides a few laughs.

Graceless and only intermittently lit up by lunacy and satire.

Awkward and unamusing and ridiculous in the bad way.

The lowest point on Chevy Chase's career.

Not as funny as the first, but has its moments

It's a sophomoric and predictable little farce - but fans of the old-fashioned Chevy Chase (you know, the funny one) will find much to enjoy.

I see London, I see France, I see Chevy do a dumb dance. [Blu-ray]
