Full Plot Details

Having it all planned down to the last detail, the American, well-meaning paterfamilias, Clark Griswold, and his supportive wife, Ellen, take their two teenage children, Rusty and Audrey, on a cross-country trip from the suburbs of Chicago, all the way to sunny California's Walley World amusement park. However, anything that can go wrong will go wrong, and before long, Ellen's cousin, Catherine, and her husband, Eddie, enter the picture, and Clark is on the verge of blowing a gasket. Now, Roy Walley's wonderful park seems so far away, and even though the prospect of a clandestine meeting with the alluring blonde in a fast, 1981 Ferrari 308 GTSi sounds tempting, Clark must do the right thing, and find the promised land. How hard can it be to have the perfect vacation?

Movie Reviews

People Magazine - 9/10 by Ralph NovakThanks largely to Chevy Chase's zaniness and comic timing this is a very funny movie.
Variety - 9/10 by Variety StaffNational Lampoon's Vacation is an enjoyable trip through familiar comedy landscapes.
Bullz-Eye.com - 9/10 by Jamey CoddingRelive some of your own dreadful family vacation moments with National Lampoon's comedy classic, Vacation.
Antagony & Ecstasy - 8/10 by Tim BraytonA perfect marriage of collaborators on both sides of the camera.
Groucho Reviews - 8/10 by Peter CanaveseThough lacking in narrative and comic sophistication, National Lampoon's Vacation has something arguably more important: built-in, instant audience identification. [Blu-ray]
The New York Times - 7/10 by Janet MaslinNational Lampoon's Vacation, which is more controlled than other Lampoon movies have been, is careful not to stray too far from its target. The result is a confident humor and throwaway style that helps sustain the laughs - of which there are quite a few.
Movie Metropolis - 7/10 by John J. Puccio...a zany, lighthearted look at numbskull American tourism at its most chaotic.
Newsweek - 7/10 by David AnsenIt's no masterpiece, but compared to the toothless comedies of its era, its attack on American mythology seems almost worthy of Preston Sturges.
Creative Loafing - 6/10 by Matt BrunsonIt's a pleasant diversion with a few memorable bits and a likable cast, but true comic invention is hard to locate in the meandering screenplay by the late John Hughes.
Washington Post - 6/10 by Gary ArnoldHalf-baked but occasionally hilarious, National Lampoon's Vacation gets a reasonable amount of mileage out of depicting the disaster-prone journey of a "typical" family of four, the Griswolds of suburban Chicago.
