I saw "Vacation", starring Ed Helms-The Hangover movies, Meet Dave; Christina Applegate-The Anchorman movies, Mars Attacks!; Skyler Gisondo-The Amazing Spider-Man movies, Four Christmases; Steele Stebbins-A Haunted House 2, Metered; Chris Hemsworth-The Thor & Avengers movies, A Perfect Getaway and Leslie Mann-The Other Woman, Drillbit Taylor.
I guess you could call this a sequel to the 1983 Vacation movie. It is sort of like they are passing the torch for a new generation. Ed plays a grown up Rusty, the son of Chevy/Clarke Griswold and yes, Chevy & Beverly D'Angelo do make an appearance, although Randy Quaid/Cousin Eddie does not- I think he was in jail or something. Anyway, Ed plays a pilot for an economy airline company-their slogan is something like, We're working hard to regain your trust!-and he wants to reconnect with his family by changing up their normal boring vacation at their cabin in the woods and relive his unforgettable childhood trip to Wally World. Christina plays his wife, Skyler is his oldest son and Steele is his younger son. Skyler is nerdy and always being picked on by his younger brother, Steele. Steele also cusses a lot. Ed rents an Albanian hybrid car, which is hilarious because of the high tech gadgets and language barrier that come along with it. On their cross country road trip, they make lots of stops and nothing ever goes according to plan. One stop is at his sister Audrey's place. She is played by Leslie and Chris plays her husband. Chris is pretty funny here. I guess he enjoyed doing comedy for a change. There are several cameos scattered throughout the movie; I remember seeing Colin Hanks, Charlie Day, Norman Reedus, Keegan-Michael Key and Ron Livingston. Oh yeah, they did use the old familiar Lindsey Buckingham song, Holiday Road. It's rated "R" for language and sexual content-including nudity-and has a running time of 1 hour & 39 minutes. I enjoyed it and would buy it on DVD.
