Fun Griswald romp through Europe. Rusty has a particularly good time.

It made me laugh but I can't really think of any memorable gags.

Hilarious. Outdated humor and simple jokes make this movie
Charles

Not quite as good as the first one but still chock full of memorable moments and laughs. Definitely worth checking out (or seeing again!)
Jim

The worst of the original vacation movies that keeps going back to the same fish-out-of-water well over and over. Some good laughs thrown in
Liam

Not the best of the vacation movies but still hilarious
Jordan Anderson

The other 2 before this one were WAY better. This one lacks humor and basically just copies vacation.
Alex

Much like the first, some of the jokes work, but it’s mostly a jarring combination of family comedy and sudden adult jokes. Pick a lane!

The charm of these movies is barely found in this entry.

Pretty funny. Not as good as the first one or Christmas Vacation but still great
