Title (Year): National Lampoon's European Vacation (1985) Age: 39 yearsGRS Rating: 5 of 5
Infractions: None. Comments: The Griswald family are on a game show. They manage to win! The prize is a trip to Europe. Clark ultimately wants to visit where his family originated in Germany. Oh, how can this vacation not go wrong? I've travelled a fair bit overseas. The rooms in England are that small, but these days many have "en suite" bathrooms. I really love the microwave ovens and dinners in the Parisian restaurant! Nice jab at the French! The gameshow host is a pig! This film could have been shortened or kept at the same duration by employing more scenes. Still, it's an OK film, though not as good as the original. |
