I'm kind of late to review this movie since I watched it over a year ago and this is the first movie I'm reviewing here on IMDb, but I'll take a stab at it anyway. I said I watched this movie a year ago, well, I should've said that I've seen the first half hour before I turned it off shortly afterwards. I'm not very strict and pretty easy on movies most of the time, but this movie was just bad. It's a mean-spirited, unfunny movie with no heart and it's a disgrace to the original Vacation movies with Chevy Chase. I'm saying this as a guy who loved Christmas Vacation and hated this movie. Not a single moment up to the half hour mark where I turned it off made chuckle or laugh even a little bit. I would honestly give this a 0/10 if I could and this has got to be the worst movie of the year in 2015 and probably the worst movie I've ever had the displeasure to watch. Follow my advice, you'll thank me later and be grateful that you didn't see this piece of s*** movie.

There were some good laughs, and although at points it was a little ridiculous, that ridiculousness managed to somewhat lend itself to the laughs.Another nice aspect of this movie is that, it kind of tried to steer away to some extent, from the predictability of these type of movies. Sure, a large part of it was very predictable, but, it tried with others, and I appreciated that.Overall, Vacation was pretty much what I always expected it to be, and it met those expectations quite well. Usually these road trip type comedy flicks, filled with a bunch of unnecessary spectacle end up feeling way too long, even with their usual 1 hr 30 min running time, but this film filled up that time with some palatable content for the most part. 5.7/10.P.S. Chris Hemsworth continues to deliver terrible, terrible American accents, and I have a feeling this film was just a disposable/replaceable playground to further practice his accent without consequence.

This hurt my soul to watch it. I loved Em Helms in The Office, and thought he would do a remake of one of my all time favorite movies some justice. Oh, how I was wrong. This is one of those movies that if someone was like "Hey, do you wanna get shot or watch the remake of Vacation with Ed Helms," you would chose to get shot. I walked out of the movie maybe 20 minutes in because I could physically feel my brain cells, heart, and hope for Hollywood dying. I swear this movie took at least 10 years off of my life.

I loved all the other Vacation movies. They had charm, character and most importantly for a comedy, laughs.This movie 'Vacation', is NOTHING like the others. It's full of filthy unnecessary language, stupid scenarios, and vile, unlikable characters. The youngest son is by far the most obnoxious, unrealistic, unpleasant brat I've seen in any movie. The character is just not funny.No spoilers here, just an opinion that if you liked the previous vacation movies, you're going to be so disappointed in this one. A total let down and a disgrace to the Griswald name.Painful to watch, but I stuck with it to see if it got any better...it didn't.
