Chevy Chase & Beverly D'Angelo play Clark & Ellen Griswold, a happily married couple with two teenage kids, who take a long-planned vacation to Wally World, a famous amusement park, but their efforts to get there do not go as planned, and almost end in disaster...
Probably Chevy Chase's most likable performance, he is mostly appealing here, helped by the beautiful Beverly D'Angelo, also good. A more successful variation of "The-Out-Of-Towners" school of escalating chaos, film is reasonably funny and engaging, though does become crude and silly at times. Twist at the end when they meet John Candy is quite funny, and help end the film on the right note.
