National Lampoon's Vacation (1997, DVD)

Movie Description
Join the Griswolds, a typical suburban family, on their summer vacation, a cross-county trip to their favorite amusement park, Walley World. Everything that can go wrong does go wrong in this outrageous farce, featuring the comic genius of Chevy Chase as the desperate dad looking for fun and Beverly D'Angelo as his willing wife. As they wind their way across the country, the Griswolds are forced to survive a series of absurd events and wacky detours. By the time they finally reach the gates of Walley World, they are more desperate for fun than ever.

The script initially cited the amusement park as Disneyland, but representatives of the park balked, saying that their theme park was open 365 days a year, unlike Walley World.

Christie Brinkley made her feature-film acting debut in the film as a woman attracted to Clark (Chevy Chase).

"Why aren't we flying? Because getting there is half the fun."--Clark Griswold (Chevy Chase)

"Sorry, folks, park's closed; moose out front should have told you."--security guard Lasky (John Candy)

Editorial Reviews
"...Fast, funny satire....Chase plays Clark Griswold with much more of an edge than he's brought to any other recent roles..."
New York Times - p.C10 - Janet Maslin

"...An enjoyable trip through family comedy landscapes....There's plenty of fun here for anybody who can relate from the front or back seat..."
Variety - Har.

"...Very funny....Chase, as Clark Griswold, finally lived up to all that early SNL promise..."

    Chevy Chase is a funny Guy..almost as funny as Tim Conway..I love this film!! My Partner (who had never even heard of this movie) and I laughed until it hurt while watching this film..everyone was fantastic from the Adults down to the Kiddies..Anthony Michael Hall was soo young in this film..I recommend this movie to everyone..Kids Adults even your pets will get a kick out of it..our Kitten Whisper watched it upside down while sitting on top of the tv..The only part I found offensive and not funny at all was the scene with the dog tied to the bumper..even with that scene this movie is a pure delight!! Imogene Cocoa (I love her) was the funniest of the lot!!

    This is a classic. Chevy Chase is once again the funniest man on screen! I've watched it over and over throughout the years. It never gets old! Definitely a fine addition to the collection.

      National Lampoon's Vacation (1997, DVD)

    This movie is a Classic. It was the beginning of many Lampoon films. The main characters each have interesting real life stories. Chevy Chase is still as popular as ever. Beverly DiAngelo's shower scene is my favorite part. The introduction of the well known model, Christy Brinkly, was the only movie I ever saw her in. Many other character actors make this a memorable, funny, and entertaining movie.
