This movie's popularity is something I don't understand.
There are a few laughs, a few "dumb laughs," but overall this movie is so STUPID, it's hard to really enjoy it much.
I guess most people like things overly silly.
The later scene with Aunt Edna being put on the roof of the car when found dead in the backseat was just too horrible and cringe-inducing - how on earth is that amusing?
SO many stupid scenes.
Everything is vastly overdone in this; Imogene Coca is just wasted in this, she was the most talented and funny cast member in real life and Chevy Chase can't hold a candle to her.
Overall this is really bad and I don't understand why this movie is considered a comedy classic, that's just crazy.
There ARE worse movies to pass the time though this was pretty painful in many moments - like when they force themselves, or Chevy does, into "Wally World," and the scenes with John Candy, and the weird voice they chose for him, are terribly unfunny. Am I supposed to laugh when he's shot with a BB gun? This movie is quite stupid.
Just changed the rating from a 4 to a 3 - it gets even worse as it goes along.
The scene where Chase asked for directions was amusing, for a whole couple seconds....
