National Lampoon's
European Vacation (1985)

Rate: 4
Viewed: 2/06

2/06: National Lampoon's European Vacation is much worse than the original.

Of course, it's directed by the awful Amy Heckerling, not Harold Ramis, who had been involved with many stinkers such as Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Johnny Dangerously, Clueless, and A Night at the Roxbury.

The number of jokes is way down, and if there's any, well...it's not funny. The actor for Russ is the most miscast of all four films. What's the point of seeing Eric Idle many times in different foreign cities? Is he supposed to be special or what?

All in all, National Lampoon's European Vacation is disappointing.
