Vacation review - finally a funny comedy

A father tries to take his family on a cross-country road trip to Walley World.

I hold no particular love for 1983s National Lampoons Vacation – mostly because I just don’t find Chevy Chase funny. Yes perhaps my brain is broken but comedy is a very subjective thing. In and that same vein, I thought Vacation was freaking hilarious.

You don’t need to know anything about the series to get on board with this new adventure, the film even goes out of its way to dismiss the previous version early on.
