This was our family's go-to comedy for just about all of the 80s. I've probably seen it three dozen time on VHS. To this day, we still repeat the numerous one-liners from this movie whenever we get together or catch-up on the phone. Just showed it to the kids... I laughed my ass off, but the kids could care less. More interested in the Ipads. Guess I'll wait a few more years and try again. I think this is one of the greatest movies of the 80s and it still holds up over 30 years later. Sadly, half of these gags wouldn't be allowed in today's overly politically correct world. Top 3 movie in my book.

This movie was even funnier than I remember. Only downsides are the racist "of the time but still not cool" scene and the fact that this movie exists in a world where a complete idiot would think for one second he shouldn't thank the good lord every single day for being blessed with Beverly D'Angelo as a wife. I mean come on man.

This is one of those movies that i loved when i was younger so i really didn't know what to think as i watched it again. But to my surprise it is still charming, funny and sweet.

Vacation is funny, but never laugh out loud funny. However, there are scenes that stick and you find yourself chuckling at them later. Somehow the memories are better than the experience.
