National Lampoon's Vacation DVD
National Lampoon's Vacation
(Movie Review)
By Britt Gillette
One of the funniest movies of all time, National Lampoon's Vacation
tells the story of a bungling middle-class man's quest to provide
his family with the ultimate family vacation. Complete with a series
of laughable diversions along the way, and great casting that
provides for a number of hilarious supporting characters, Vacation
is a cult comedy classic. Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo form the
perfect married couple comedy duo with a banter that is simply
magical, and the comic screenplay is well-written with sequence of
never-ending laughter…
When Clark
Griswold (Chevy Chase) decides to take his Chicago family on a trip
to Wally World, his wife Ellen (Beverly D'Angelo), along with kids
Rusty (Anthony Michael Hall) and Audrey (Dana Barron), try to
convince him they should fly. But Clark is intent on taking the new
"family truckster" (a brand new lemon he recently purchased) on a
cross country drive so as to "see America" along the way. Clark wins
the argument, and the family sets off on a nefarious and
unforgettable excursion across the Fruited Plain. With a non-stop
series of disasters - beginning in the driveway - the Griswold
family struggles to deal with hubcap thieves, their Cousin Eddie,
vibrating hotel beds, a dead aunt, a tortured dog, and Clark's
insistence on viewing the world's largest pile of dirt.
When the Griswolds finally reach the end
destination of Wally World, Clark and Rusty race to the entrance
against the background music for "Chariots of Fire". But to Clark's
dismay, Wally World's notable moose character informs them that
Wally World is closed for repairs. Flying off the handle, and intent
on giving his family the best vacation ever, Clark purchases a
handgun and barges into the park. Forcing a security guard (John
Candy) to take his family on the various rides via gunpoint, Clark
triggers a massive display of police authority on behalf of the
local SWAT team…
Sporting hilarious supporting appearances by
Randy Quaid, John Candy, and supermodel Christie Brinkley (a
Ferrari-driving blonde whose infatuation with Clark threatens to
breakup the Griswold marriage), National Lampoon's Vacation is the
quintessential comedy classic. If you're one of the few people on
earth who has managed to miss this one, then I definitely recommend
going out and renting it right now. Rated R (by 1983 standards;
minus some brief nudity, it would rate as PG today), Vacation is a
film you can feel comfortable watching with your children. After
all, I saw it when I was five, and I turned out all right! Because
of its status as a cult comedy classic, as well as its never-ending
laughs, National Lampoon's Vacation is a definite must-see film.
Don't miss it…
