ok. this may contain spoiler . but who really care . do not and if you value the second in your life and waste your time on this pile of garbage . there be not one redeem quality in this movie . and i say that a a full fan of the vacation series of movie . i love the cousin eddie character from the other vacation movie . but he only work well a a support character . do i blame randy quaid for the failure of this movie . not at all . i think he a great actor . but this film lack any cohesion . the pacing be off . it just plain unfunny . and the actor who play the third . jake thomas . be just awful and more than likely due to a real lack of direction . i do not know why . but his whole character creep me out . some people say that this be a horrible movie because chevy chase and beverly dangelo aren not in it . that have nothing to do with it . the script and directing and act . special effect . everything be a train wreck . with orphan . and kitten . oh . and the train run over some old people too . please and whatever you do . stay away from this filth . i call it filth because it dirty the name of the vacation franchise .
