i be out of town and visit an old friend . after dinner and talk and he express some reservation about his daughter boy friend . she 15 and beautiful and smart and athletic and and the young man be also from an excellent family and nice and also athletic ( if not a smart ) . i tell him he might just be feel the normal fatherly concern while however and a few minute later the young man arrive and with his dvd of this flick and which he have apparently be anxious for some time to share with the others . these folk have a bona fide home theater set up and with a screen something in excess of 4 foot and and the two young folk precede to view it and while the young swain proceed to extol it virtue almost frame by frame . i saw enough in a few moment ( and with some fascination in it awfulness ) to endorse all of the most critical comment i have see in scan some here . i tell my friend i wouldn not go so far a to disqualify the young suitor solely on the basis of his like this opus but it certainly seem to warrant his bear close watch . some flick be so bad theyre good represent the classic plan 9 from out space while and and in my opinion and the wonderfully awful bruce jenner or village people work and can not stop the music . however and this one remain firmly simply in the awful category . second or third or fourth banana even the best of these ( e. g. tim conway and don knotts and everybody with seinfeld ) have great difficulty in carry a later star series ( or and a here and film ) . and these be great support character in their original situation . the eddie character and really at about the 5th or 6th banana level in the prior griswald movie and and never add a whole lot to these and in my opinion . randy quaid be a capable actor who have deliver some good performance . his contribution to the prior vacation pic be average and at best . both he and the other cast member and many of whom have do some good work in the past and accomplish nothing for their effort here and except to derive a few year house payment or some ira contribution . this whole presentation story and performance ( from lead to support ) couldn not be bad .
