Editorial Review: Description: The Griswalds are on vacation again when they win a deluxe tour of the old world and take on the European continent -- the continent loses. Amazon.com: After winning a tour package in a game show, the bickering Griswald family carve a trail of destruction through England (where they knock over Stonehenge), France, Germany, and Italy. Somehow Ellen (Bevery D'Angelo), the mom, gets kidnapped by gangsters, leading to a car chase that reunites the family, despite their differences. It's hard to believe that National Lampoon's European Vacation is only the second of the Vacation movies; it has the exhausted pallor of the last of a long series of sequels, drained of all zest or original ideas. The charmless smirk of Chevy Chase, mechanical in its idiocy, hangs over European Vacation like a death mask. It's hard to believe that this hack was once the funny and sexy hero of Foul Play. D'Angelo keeps her chin up and gives the movie whatever class it may have; she deserves better. --Bret Fetzer Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - An Absolute ClassicThis movie is a classic, simply put. Yes, it does have a cheesy 80s humor to it, but that only adds to it. Clark Griswold reminds me of my own dad with his clueless, somewhat unintentional I-know-whats-best attitude. I've watched this movie countless times before and I still find it refreshing and brilliant each time I see it. I highly recommend seeing this movie, however in the unedited version. Rating:  - The worst of the four.National Lampoon's European Vacation is just plain horrible. I hate this one more than Vegas Vacation, Vacation and Christmas Vacation are the most funny and original. I am surprised this second film of the franchise is directed by Amy Heckerling, all of her other films are brilliant. Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo reprise their roles and even though all the Rusty's and Audrey's are different actors, these two airheads are so untalented, where did they get these two kids from? Stay away from European Vacation, it's a piece of trash. Rating:  - Almost as good as the first oneThis is almost as good as the first vacation however it is better than Las Vegas, just remember it does have some cheezy eighties in it. Rating: - Chevy ChaseIt's not as good as the first Vacation, but if you like Chevy Chase, you won't be disappointed. It is typical situations for Chevy. You will see it coming, but you will laugh anyway. Rating:  - The Griswolds trash Europe... and the greatness of the originalEven before I was old enough to really get the jokes, I watched all of the VACATION movies (even saw VEGAS in theaters when I was 7 or 8), and even at such a young age I could see what a disappointment EUROPEAN VACATION was after the hilarious first one. Pratfalls and lame sex jokes substitute for the clever sight gags and equally clever sex jokes in the original. Some good jokes slip through (most likely from John Hughes' portion of the script, who wrote the original and gets story/co-writer credit here, though I've heard he claims no responsibility for the finished product, and I say good call there, Johnny), but none of them come close to, say, the fate of Aunt Edna and her dog Dinky, the visit to Cousin Eddie's, or the showdown at Walley ...
