VHS Movie Reviews of National Lampoon European Vacation
Movie Review: An Absolute Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is a classic, simply put. Yes, it does have a cheesy 80s humor to it, but that only adds to it. Clark Griswold reminds me of my own dad with his clueless, somewhat unintentional I-know-whats-best attitude. I've watched this movie countless times before and I still find it refreshing and brilliant each time I see it.
I highly recommend seeing this movie, however in the unedited version.
Summary of National Lampoon European Vacation
After winning a tour package in a game show, the bickering Griswald family carve a trail of destruction through England (where they knock over Stonehenge), France, Germany, and Italy. Somehow Ellen (Bevery D'Angelo), the mom, gets kidnapped by gangsters, leading to a car chase that reunites the family, despite their differences. It's hard to believe that National Lampoon's European Vacation is only the second of the Vacation movies; it has the exhausted pallor of the last of a long series of sequels, drained of all zest or original ideas. The charmless smirk of Chevy Chase, mechanical in its idiocy, hangs over European Vacation like a death mask. It's hard to believe that this hack was once the funny and sexy hero of Foul Play. D'Angelo keeps her chin up and gives the movie whatever class it may have; she deserves better. --Bret FetzerComedy VHS Video
