Vive les vacances

I liked that the writers went the official way and straight-up refer to the original Griswold family. We even got to see Beverly D'Angelo and Chevy Chase at the end, which has made me very happy. But those might be the biggest upsides, because apart from that, the movie is pretty boring. The first half is only funny because the ugliest car ever – Honda Tartan Prancer – makes an appearance. And they milk it as much as possible. As soon as the second half comes, the comedy starts to decline. It’s not like it’s not there at all, it just doesn’t have what it takes for me to say: “well done”. (20/05/2018)

Un film agressif et désagréable avec une intrigue banale et bâclée, des blagues ratées et globalement gênantes, des acteurs mal dirigés et jouant mal, et avec un tas de vulgarités et de passages dégoûtants, gratuitement exagérés et inutiles. L'histoire est totalement absurde et incohérente, se décomposant en un chaos de scènes sans rapport les unes avec les autres, où des héros désespérément antipathiques se comportent comme des fous irresponsables, pour finir couverts d'excréments, de vomissures ou d'entrailles de vache. L'équivalent de l'enfer comique. (27/08/2015)

I watched the movie for a while without laughing once, and just when I was about to start watching something else, Christina Applegate really got going and she kept me entertained till the end. All three stars go to Christina. If she hadn't given such a great performance, there wouldn’t be anything worth rating. (01/08/2016)

No, this comedy doesn't completely measure up for me, but I have to say that considering that American comedies are usually dumb, this is one of those where there are moments that are genuinely funny. There's a lot of awkwardness here, but the bullying of the older brother, for example, is perfect. Chevy Chase is tragic, which is a shame, but other than that, I had quite a good time. (20/10/2015)
