(www.PlayTimeCares.com) - I received an invite to see a film called "Vacation," and I immediately thought of a childhood favorite, "National Lampoon's Vacation" and was immediately upset! I automatically KNEW they would remake another film from my childhood and screw it up.
I was given the following synopsis of the movie:
"The next generation of Griswolds is at it again. New Line Cinema's ''Vacation,'' starring Ed Helms (''The Hangover'' films) and Christina Applegate (the ''Anchorman'' films), takes the family on the road for another ill-fated adventure. The film marks Jonathan Goldstein & John Francis Daley’s directorial debut. Following in his father's footsteps and hoping for some much-needed family bonding, a grown-up Rusty Griswold (Helms) surprises his wife, Debbie (Applegate), and their two sons with a cross-country trip back to America's ''favorite family fun park,'' Walley World.
Since this was actually a continuation, and not a remake of a classic film, I was all aboard this movie train!
