Vacation Ratings & Reviews
We Got This Covered
Jeremy Lebens
National Lampoon's Vacation is a comedic cross-country adventure like no other, thanks to Chevy Chase and the rest of the Griswold family.
Mania.com
Rob Vaux
The humor in Vacation also taps into something beyond the trials and travails of a road trip gone wrong.
Groucho Reviews
Peter Canavese
Though lacking in narrative and comic sophistication, National Lampoon's Vacation has something arguably more important: built-in, instant audience identification. [Blu-ray]
Common Sense Media
Afsheen Nomai
Funny family comedy, but dated and risque.
Antagony & Ecstasy
Tim Brayton
A perfect marriage of collaborators on both sides of the camera.
Movie Metropolis
John J. Puccio
...a zany, lighthearted look at numbskull American tourism at its most chaotic.
CraveOnline
Fred Topel
The Griswolds are a national treasure.
Aisle Seat
Mike McGranaghan
A timeless comedy. Hysterical.
Washington Post
Gary Arnold
Half-baked but occasionally hilarious, National Lampoon's Vacation gets a reasonable amount of mileage out of depicting the disaster-prone journey of a "typical" family of four, the Griswolds of suburban Chicago.
Variety
Variety Staff
National Lampoon's Vacation is an enjoyable trip through familiar comedy landscapes.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
Despite plenty of gross-out gags and dumb slapstick bits, the careful viewer can occasionally detect some acrid and original satire in this 1983 film.
New York Times
Janet Maslin
The result is a confident humor and throwaway style that helps sustain the laughs -- of which there are quite a few.
People Magazine
Ralph Novak
Thanks largely to Chevy Chase's zaniness and comic timing this is a very funny movie.
The Hollywood Reporter
Duane Byrge
This is one Vacation trip not to be missed.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
This boasts a great cast from start to finish, but the funniest moments in this film for me invariably come from Randy Quaid, who plays Chase's dumb country cousin.
DVDJournal.com
Betsy Bozdech
Perhaps the most interesting thing about Harold Ramis's classic 1983 comedy of errors is how well it's held up in the two decades since it hit theaters.
TV Guide
Funny, though often obvious.
