Movie Reviews:

“Strengthening of brotherly and marital bonds is the real agenda, of course, but happily the movie never stays on these laugh-killing themes long,” wrote Neil Genzlinger from New York Times.

“Strengthening of brotherly and marital bonds is the real agenda, of course, but happily the movie never stays on these laugh-killing themes long,” wrote James Berardinelli from ReelViews.

“The new "Vacation" scores a laugh here and there, but it also proves the adage that you can't go home again,” wrote Rafer Guzman from Newsday. Guzman rated the film 1.5/4 stars.

“The new but not necessarily improved edition is here to make you feel either very old or very relieved you weren't around when the first one, or any of its sequels, hit,” wrote Stephanie Zacharek from Village Voice.

“Vacation loses any of the ooey-gooey, family-friendly heart that made you really want Clark to get to Walley World to begin with,” wrote Molly Eichel from Philadelphia Inquirer.

“The geniuses behind the new film just don’t understand the difference between genuine subversiveness and pointless vulgarity,” wrote Lou Lumenick from New York Post.

“Think of the new movie as the retailoring of an old formula for a new generation, taking the best of the old and combining it with the best of the new,” wrote Mick LaSalle from San Francisco Chronicle.
