Über diesen Film

From the creators of "Caddyshack," "Animal House" and "Groundhog Day" comes this #1 boxoffice hit that spawned two sequels! Chevy Chase mans the wheel and convinces his all-American family that the way to really enjoy their holiday is to hit the road west for Wally World. And so the Griswalds take us in their station wagon on the ultimate comic cross-country trip full of laughs, landmarks, falling asleep at the wheel, and just how to deal with annoying Aunt Edna's (Imogene Coca, "Your Show of Shows") untimely fate in the middle of the "perfect" vacation. Featuring the hysterically zany cast of John Candy ("Cool Runnings," "Planes, Trains & Automobiles"), fellow SCTV alumn and Emmy-winner Eugene Levy ("Father of the Bride"), Saturday Night Live alumns Anthony Michael Hall ("The Breakfast Club"), Brian Doyle-Murray ("Groundhog Day") and Oscar-nominee Randy Quaid ("The Paper"), and supermodel Christie Brinkley.

Bewertungen und Rezensionen

Many of the talented people involved with this film were part of a comedic scene that will always be remembered fondly and, most likely will never be repeated. Unfortunately, some of those comic geniuses are, not with us anymore. It's too bad. Things were less 'uptight' then, than they are now (And, that was the 'Reagan Era' for cripes sakes.).

While some of the jokes feel dated and a bit morbid at times, this movie has that style of comedy that is missing from modern movies. This movie is a riot about a man who is trying to give his family a good time travelling across country.

I honestly love the national lampoons movies but this is one of my favorites. It honestly could be rated PG-13 if they cut out the boob scene and the f-bombs
