you shut your damn mouth....that was prob the funniest movie i've seen in a looong time, and i'm not even joking.

i laughed my ass off more times in that movie that i can remember in any other movie. of course it's very crude/childish humor, which is my thing and not for everyone.
Sure, there were a few laughs....but just watch the REAL "Vacation" if you want to laugh your ass off.

I liked the new Vacation as well.

oh, i'm a big fan of the original, and of christmas vacation as well (the other 2, europe and vegas i didn't care for)...but none of them had me laughing as hard as the new one.

it's odd someone who like the original, wouldn't at least enjoy the new one a little...it's pretty much the exact same story, just updated to our times (even had jokes in the movie about redoing the original and such...kind of how 22 jump street made fun of itself with it being a sequel)

This guy at work was just telling me that he thought the new Vacation was pretty good too. I loved the first one.

Ok, awful might have been a strong word.....let's just say I had higher expectations. It had some laughs, but I think I wanted it to be more funny than it actually was.

It was worth the rental.

i never saw it, had slight interest. i like ed helms and could see him pulling off that character, but at the same time...there's just no way it could compete.

Didn't see it yet and probably won't but I thought the trailer was funny, except for the sewage pond which felt like an obvious Dumb and Dumber style gag. A few too many references to the old Vacation, and that was just in the trailer. I did love that Ed Helms' kid picture was still Anthony Michael Hall. Having said that, it strikes me now that making Audrey the lead might have brought something fresher to the table.

It's basically a blatant remake with his son, and that's what makes it so damn good.

People who don't like it, are prob the same people who love the "comedy" sideways.

I don't find Sideways particularly funny, but I like it. Not sure where that puts me.

Sideways was a comedy?
