It's getting annoying seeing reviews giving this film a 1/10 because people have misinterpreted 'Vacation' for a family film and been disgusted by it. It's crude humour and outrageously funny if you like movies like Due Date and The Hangover and deserves more than a 1/10 (Mums who haven't bothered to check the rating).

The film its-self is also good and I think it's rating has been brought down by disgusted parents who's children have seen a little more than is desired. The acting is good enough, the jokes are tops and the situations get more and more extreme.

If you want a family movie take your kids to something else but if you like a rude comedy with plenty of laughs, this one's for you.

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.

Most importantly: relax. Take it easy (as the song goes). But do not watch this, if you are easily offended. It really goes out there and language wise, it does not only cross the line, it catapults over it, with a vicious grin on its face. If you know you can't handle that, better save your money and time.

For those familiar with the original (it's been too long since I last saw it), there are a few throwbacks, most of which surely can be read here. They are nice and as "tasteful" as they can be expected to be in a movie, that really takes no prisoners. And I only watched the version that was shown in cinemas. I can only imagine where they probably will go in an extended version (that's surely happening, right? If not at least many deleted scenes and outtakes, with more "fun" - for those who liked it). Also many jokes throughout the credits, that will either delight you or annoy you more - depending on how you liked the movie

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.
