carlitobandito Seriously, if everyone would just chill tfo about wanting to compare this version with the original version, you would find this movie is hilarious. First time in years I didn't want to punch Ed Helms in the face after watching him in a movie. The two actors who play the boys in the movie are great. But the gem and queen of this movie is Christina Applegate. All in all, a really funny movie, a lot better than internet trolls have shown it. I just hope the 100 million worldwide gross will generate a remake of Xmas Vacation. I will admit that Chris Hemsworth, Charlie Day, Kaitlyn Olson, Michael Pena, Nick Kroll, either Key or Peele, are great in their own small role way. However, this movie does not provide the Cousin Ed role made famous by Canadian truffle sniffer Randy Quaid.

tinkerbell10292 Now, I understand I shouldn't compare this to the "original" vacation movies, but this is really an insult to them. I was cringing most of this movie as it made me feel as if the laughs were forced and not to mention the thing that stuck with me most, was the horrible cursing son. I understand some people may find that funny, but I find it absolutely unnecessary and not funny at all. Haha, potty mouth kid, hilarious....not really. I grew up with the National Lampoon Vacation movies as my families favorite thing to watch together. I will not be showing my future children this movie as it is really not funny and stupid. I'd avoid if you are a fan of the originals.

jirunkaappleid The headline speaks for all. I love the Griswold movies and this one was so far the best comedy movie in at least 15 years with so many unpredictable moments. I don't laugh easily as well as i don't get scared easily at all. I loved this movie

keeper-24533 People use expressions like 'if you're easily offended' to ward viewers away from this film. It is not that I am 'easily offended' but most people these days seem to be offended by nothing. This film is, literally, an offense. To make child actors use obscene language is tantamount to child abuse. Hollywood should pay a price for this. Instead? They make money and are encouraged to commit more crimes like "Vacation". Hollywood: see if you can write a script without profanity. Try it. I know it will be difficult for you. It will also shorten run times by 20 minutes. Not only is this movie a moral disgrace but it is also just bad. There is none of the innuendo and irony of the original movie but mere 'hammer humour' at it's nauseating worst.
