Yet it's still better than most other movies.

And though it's been done to death on here, the only acceptable ranking goes like this:

1. Vacation
2. Vegas Vacation
3. Christmas Vacation
4. European Vacation

Vegas's Audrey is enough to place it at #2. The kids in Christmas were the third best and only saved by the atrocities of the European kids.

I agree. If not for nostalgia, I'd rank Vegas's kids as #1.

Europe and Christmas are the only ones I'll watch. Vegas sucks my nuts.

European Vacation is the worst.

Audrey's all fat in it. When Chevy Chase is doing the German dance and she's eating sauerkraut and yells, "Alright, daddy!" And she has this huge mouthful of partially chewed food. Rusty is damn near 20 and a huge dork.


The only good thing about it was Chevy Chase and the scenes from Europe.

I agree.

Christmas is probably my personal favorite. I've tried to sit through European Vacation again but I can never make it past the first twenty minutes or so.

Right. That's about all that makes the movie, like I previously stated. The scenes from Paris and Rome. I like scenes from Europe.


And wherever they were at the German thing.

Chevy Chase makes the movie tolerable, the rest is pretty bad. Even the damn editing. "Darn it all."


Well, I forgot about Eric Idle being in it too.

It's Vacation, Christmas Vacation, and nothing else. The Audrey in Christmas Vacation was played by Juliette Lewis and she'd go on to become a hotty herself in the mid-90s.

European Vacation as well as Vegas Vacation are unwatchable, save a few bright spots interspersed throughout the films.
