Grossly Underrated
Seriously, if everyone would just chill tfo about wanting to compare this version with the original version, you would find this movie is hilarious. First time in years I didn't want to punch Ed Helms in the face after watching him in a movie. The two actors who play the boys in the movie are great. But the gem and queen of this movie is Christina Applegate.
All in all, a really funny movie, a lot better than internet trolls have shown it. I just hope the 100 million worldwide gross will generate a remake of Xmas Vacation.
I will admit that Chris Hemsworth, Charlie Day, Kaitlyn Olson, Michael Pena, Nick Kroll, either Key or Peele, are great in their own small role way. However, this movie does not provide the Cousin Ed role made famous by Canadian truffle sniffer Randy Quaid.

I laughed my ars off.
Crazy, hilarious things happen in this very funny film. Raunchy comedy remake which is funnier than the original; contemporary humor, easier to follow and with multiple Ed Helms freak out moments.
Yes, there are things in there which are hard-to-believe but who cares? This is a fictional comedy and not a documentary. Good cast, good cameos, funny jokes, odd situations and overall great entertainment; that's what you can expect from this movie.
The rating is too low here-very unfair. This is a great raunchy comedy which you might watch again and again! 9/10
Laughed my ass off
First off, this movie is a bit crude with the humor, so those who are easily offended should probably stay clear. That said, when you laugh out loud multiple times in the first 20 minutes, not to mention the hilarious opening credit sequence, you know that you're in for a fun ride.
Vacation hearkens back to the original from National Lampoon and is certainly a worthy successor. I can't believe I have never seen this movie and it's 2023.
I really enjoy this type of irreverent, feel-good comedy. Yeah it's super formulaic, but that's part of the charm in this case. It's the type of movie that you can sit back on the sofa with some popcorn and just get some belly laughs as the rest of the world melts away.

Ridicoulous, stupid, offensive and dreadful..... would watch again!
Despite the movie is a over the top comedy that is ridiculous and sometimes straight out offensive and disgusting, the movie makes you laugh. I haven't laughed like this for a good while, so it does however do its job as a comedy. if you are however looking for a calm comedy that takes itself a little bit serious..... stay away XD It contains offensive jokes, foul language (often from the small ones) over-dramatic scenes with plot twists, scrap that! there is plot twists everywhere, but the movie is for some reason able to keep you entertained as you try to pick up all the popcorn you dropped on the floor after laughing hysterically from a really bad line that just turns even more awkward as the other character replies back. A must watch mess for the ones that needs a good laugh, and bring a friend. It makes the movie 10 time better when a cheap but funny line comes up and both of you can relate XD
Better than I expected it to be
Reboot to the National Lampoon's Vacation series that's also a sequel of sorts. Rusty Griswold is all grown up with kids of his own and decides to take them to Walley World like his dad did with their family all those years ago. The results are just as chaotic, if never quite as funny. Remakes, reboots, etc. are always tough to make work (as they should be) but this one does surprisingly OK. It's not a patch on the first few Vacation films with Chevy Chase (who has an unfunny appearance late in this movie) but it is good in its own way. Ed Helms and Christina Applegate provide few of the laughs, which hurts more than anything since they are the leads. Most of the successful humor comes from the guest stars like Chris Hemsworth and the two kids playing the sons, Steele Stebbins and Skyler Gisondo. Stebbins is especially funny and easily the best part of the movie. To the movie's credit, it doesn't simply do a scene-for-scene remake and tries to make its own mark. But years of road trip comedies, many of which were inspired by the original Vacation, makes this feel more than a little familiar. Still, it's watchable and provides some laughs if you're in the right mood.
