I'm gonna start this review off by simply saying that I do not get the hate for this film AT ALL!!! I think it's equal parts creative and hilarious as a National Lampoons Vacation film should be. Is it a perfect film? Not by any stretch of the imagination, but it does what it sets out to do perfectly! I have seen this film so many times already and still end up laughing so hard that I'm choking! The film can get a bit repetitive towards the end as it follows the same formula throughout, but in the the same breath there isn't a single segment within Vacation that isn't simply hilarious. As someone who grew up on the National Lampoons films I think this film is great in the fact that it introduces a whole other generation to the Lampoons and their relatable disfunction and bad luck.
