The Griswolds win a vacation to Europe on a game show, and so pack their bags for the continent. They do their best to catch the flavor of Europe, but they just don't know how to be be good tourists. Besides, they have trouble taking holidays in countries where they CAN speak the language.

    80s hijinks abroad. The Griswold quartet delivers more of the same brand. Good for some laughs.
