vacation

Full disclosure: I missed the last 10 minutes of Vacation. Last night’s press screening started 20 minutes late, then began without any sound, which lead to a 10 minute delay to correct the technical difficulties. With an unbreakable engagement elsewhere, I had to sneak out right before the very last scene. So take this review with as many grains of salt as you’d like. If you think those final minutes might recontextualize everything that came before to transform a generally miserable comedy into a beacon of transcendent hilarity, so be it. Having sat through the previous 90 minutes, I’m of the opinion that nothing short of the long-lost missing footage from Orson Welles’ Magnificent Ambersons could have redeemed this dreadful film.

The new Vacation may bear the same name as the old Vacation, but it’s actually a sequel, taking place a few decades after the first ill-fated Griswold family trip to Walley World. The first trailer for this new version has arrived and while it has the same title and premise as its predecessor, it bends over backwards to let you know that Ed Helms is the same Rusty Griswold from 32 years ago, all grown up. Can we call this a rebootquel?

If you're like me, it's tough to beat the 'Vacation' movie series. Chevy Chase in my opinion, was about as good as it got in the 80's and early 90's.

A buddy of mine is doing the "theme-park circuit" in California this week, so I've been wondering what your favorite theme park is?

This seems like the worst thing ever.

Last year, a Canadian couple took a dream vacation to Hawaii. The woman was six months pregnant at the time. Two days into the trip, her water broke, she gave birth to her baby and then spent the next six months on bed rest in a Hawaii hospital. Her daughter, born nine weeks premature, spent two months in the intensive-care unit. Despite having purchased insurance before the trip and getting appro

This couple was snorkeling on their honeymoon in Mexico when a storm rolled in. The lifeguards instructed them to get out of the water, which they did. So they were probably in the clear, right? Wrong!

“Everything’s okay ‘cause I’m on vacation.” That’s the chorus and message of this catchy Rhett and Link tune which you may find yourself singing.

Just when you thought 'Community' ensured Chevy Chase would be out of our hair for a while and the Ed Helms continuation of National Lampoon's 'Vacation' franchise had collapsed, in comes ABC with a TV reunion of the famous road trip family's parents, Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo!

I recently went on a Caribbean cruise with my family, and had a killer time. Being my first time ever on a boat for more than a day, I wasn't completely prepared for the experience. Instead of regaling you with a novel, here's a breakdown of a few things that I learned, which may help you should you ever decide to hit the high seas:

It’s summertime, which means you’ll probably take a week off for vacation to relax. But a vacation can be anything but relaxing.
