Do they not manufacture effing TRIPODS for cameras anymore ?!?!!? All they did was take the running gags from the Vacation movies and turn them into pale copies of their former selves. Not one laugh in the whole thing....although I'd STILL give my left nut for a Family Truxter :)
You guys are looking at the old vacation movies with a bit too much bias. The style is pretty much the same. I actually thought this was funny. Watchable if it was a movie even. Not "HILARIOUS" but most of the vacations movies weren't. Why do people insist that the past is somehow better than the present. This short is just fine.
Why is everyone talkin so much shit, I was just happy to watch some new NL vacation material. Wasn't the best, but no reason to hate on it. At least some parts were funny.
Honestly, it was an advertising ploy. What'd you expect from them, original beauty? I thought they pulled it together even though the composition was retarded.
This was not a movie short it was a long probably expensive advertisement for Home Away Vacation Rentals. Very unsatisfying, tacky, and I am a Chevy Chase fan from day one, Love Chevy, this was just sad and tacky...
I agree, it's time for one more "Vacation Movie" before it's too late. There is definately still a market for this, and I'm confident it would do well in the box office. Vegas Vacation was my favorite, but I like them all. I've been trying to think what the next vacation movie could be, maybe a vacation down under, or a japan vacation or a hawaiian vacation. I wish Chevy & Beverly would do it, but I think Randy Quaid won't be able to make it unless the make it in Canada!
@jocelynmmlkuntz I bought a '85 Crown Vic 'Wagon...stuffed a pair of coveralls and a dog leash, drove from Yuma to CA and back like that!! Some people got it, some didn't but it was classic. Border patrol even smiled at me,..gonna do it again in a few weeks. Even got a sticker, "Wally World or Bust."
This would be alright if this turned out to be a promo for the next Griswold movie but by itself it kinda sucks it doesn’t really go anywhere. I hope they actually make another well written Griswold movie and include this as a bonus on the dvd , that would be nice!
I thought it was pretty funny. didn't think it was bad, tasteless, or anything like that. Oh well guess its not for everyone. Reason they call it a short.
It's sad that great actors and a great franchise are reduced to this. If there were any justice.. there would have been far more Griswold movies over the years.
This short film was ok in some ways, but ultimately pretty lame. The Rusty character is all wrong - and that orange Caveman wig doesn't look funny, just annoying.
One thing this does show.. is that there's potential for Chevy and Beverly to star in a proper, well-made update. The whole concept of them being Grandparents shows promise.
its only for advertising you could rent a house thats what they mean,do you not get it you us dorks ? sorry the new lampoon films where whit this stuppid students, chevy and bev where so nice
Wow, they really should just let it go. Family vacation and European vacation were some of the funniest movies I've ever seen but this, this just sucks.
Bryan Buckly's Cinematic masterpiece(if you are wondering that is the director)!!! The only thing that made me smile was seeing the car. You know it is great when the worst outtake is funnier than anything in the movie. Glad to see the "crap Rusty" get barfed on cause the rest of the piece of garbage made me sick too. But I like dolphins too ;)
Complete shit! This is the type of ad that will turn me off from the company that it's for. What's the point of this "film"? Hotels suck? Looks like they just went to a shit hotel. And what, Rusty rented a house from that company? They don't even tie it good. What total shit.
