A bit harder to enjoy after seeing Christmas Vacation every holiday before this one, but it's the first and original Chevy Chase classic and it's almost just as good in several doses. It's the first fun-filled Griswald family vacation as they travel more than halfway across the country by car to a famous made-up amusement park with getting there being half (or even more than half) the fun. It's a total twist to normal family vacations as the Griswalds end up in the worst possible collisions and shenanigans probably ever known to man. Even with (spoiler) the park completely closed down at arrival, the Griswalds still find a way to end the day with smiles on their faces. Chevy Chase is well famous for his truly dumb comedy (in a good way of course) and his hilarious facial expressions. The rest of the cast is well played as well, including cousin Eddie. A pretty good classic and raunchy road trip comedy for it's time with a good intro song and skit.
