Pointless, lacks wit and laughs of original
“Vacation” is a next-generation saga of 1983’s “National Lampoon’s Vacation,” less the wit and laughs of the original. Ed Helms plays Rusty Griswold, the son of Chevy Chase’s character in the original. He wants to follow in his dad’s footsteps by taking his own family on a cross-country road trip to the Walley World theme park, hoping for something more special than their annual cabin vacation.<br /><br />Of course, the family gets more than it bargained for in endless squabbling, bathing in a lake of raw sewage, driving through a cow, and encountering oddball characters enroute, including a suicidal Grand Canyon rowing instructor and Griswold’s sister (Leslie Mann) and her well-endowed husband (Chris Hemsworth). Christina Applegate plays Rusty’s wife Debbie, and Chevy Chase and Beverly D’Angelo from the original film have cameos.<br /><br />Helms and Applegate are likable goofballs, as are the actors playing their kids, but it’s hard to be patient with recycled gags and overly familiar comic road-movie cliches in a series of comic misfires.<br /><br />The many obstacles the family encounters don’t add up to a lot of laughs. The problem is a dreary script and sub-par direction by John Francis Daley and Jonathan M. Goldstein (“Horrible Bosses”), who work too hard for laughs that simply don’t materialize. There’s a sense of desperation when an elaborate chase sequence struggles to distract the viewer from the film’s dearth of humor. Too much of the film duplicates moments from the original and pales by comparison, and there are even self-referencing comments about the similarities from the movie’s characters. Because of an unnecessary preoccupation with adolescent sex jokes, the film is rated R.<br /><br />Bonus extras on the Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack include two featurettes, gag reel, and deleted scenes. A digital HD copy is included.
