Vive les vacances

Let's be honest.

Vacation isn't one of those must see movie blockbusters, and would probably be one of the last choices for anyone to watch for the month.

On the other hand, its much easier to arrange a group movie outing as the chances of everyone watching that is pretty low ;)

The ratings for this particular movie are quite bad(reference Rottentomatoes), which is no surprise as most crude comedies are rated so. It wasn't as crude as I expected it to be though.(then again maybe thats because it was moderated in Singapore)

To sum it up, we went in with low expectations. But! I could hear the hall filled with laughter through-out the movie! and we came out smiling and discussing about the funny parts as well. All in all an enjoyable movie experience :)

Yes, it's not gonna win any awards or sure. but for anyone looking for a light-hearted movie packed with laughter, WATCH THIS! :D I was honestly afraid of drinking my soda for fear of spurting it out from laughter.

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.

First off, this movie is a bit crude with the humor, so those who are easily offended should probably stay clear. That said, when you laugh out loud multiple times in the first 20 minutes, not to mention the hilarious opening credit sequence, you know that you're in for a fun ride.

Vacation hearkens back to the original from National Lampoon and is certainly a worthy successor. I can't believe I have never seen this movie and it's 2023.

I really enjoy this type of irreverent, feel-good comedy. Yeah it's super formulaic, but that's part of the charm in this case. It's the type of movie that you can sit back on the sofa with some popcorn and just get some belly laughs as the rest of the world melts away.

Despite the movie is a over the top comedy that is ridiculous and sometimes straight out offensive and disgusting, the movie makes you laugh. I haven't laughed like this for a good while, so it does however do its job as a comedy. if you are however looking for a calm comedy that takes itself a little bit serious..... stay away XD It contains offensive jokes, foul language (often from the small ones) over-dramatic scenes with plot twists, scrap that! there is plot twists everywhere, but the movie is for some reason able to keep you entertained as you try to pick up all the popcorn you dropped on the floor after laughing hysterically from a really bad line that just turns even more awkward as the other character replies back. A must watch mess for the ones that needs a good laugh, and bring a friend. It makes the movie 10 time better when a cheap but funny line comes up and both of you can relate XD

I truly love this film, it is one of my favourite comedies of all time. 99% of the jokes work, whether it's the rancid younger brother, the ridiculous car, the Griswold Springs scene or the cringely flirtatious Chris Hemsworth.

The critics reviews are so low it is clearly some kind of snobbery. It perfectly fits with the National Lampoons franchise it is based on.

Even though you know exactly where the jokes and scenes are going it doesn't matter as they are just so funny. Actually knowing it is coming makes them even better.

I love a high brow intellectual film but I also love fun silly comedies and this one is just that.

Don't listen to the critics give it a watch.
