I feel this movie got lost due to the Vacation movies, but I think it holds up pretty well. I enjoy Akroyd's character and Annete Bening is always hot/beautiful. John Candy's character is pretty much the same as always. It's always good for some laughs.

Big Bear....Big Bear chase me!!

One of those movies I'll watch anytime it's on.

"I'm going to introduce Mr. Thickdick to Mr Urinal Cake."

You know what hotdogs are made out of?

We made that joke every time we went to the lake as a family

Agree....very underrated movie

That Roman Craig is crooked son of a *****

It's been touching you for 12 years

Wally: I don't like them climbing around Mr. Tomkins. He ain't no jungle gym.
Chet: Girls, why don't you kiss Mr. Tomkins on the cheek?
Wally: No.
Chet: A nice kiss on the cheek. Come on, it's cute! What old man wouldn't like it?
Wally: A dead one. Bill died in the car on the way over.

3rdCoast beat me

Great movie! Akroyd was perfect for that role.

I really miss John Candy.

Also how hot was Cammie?

Yeah, I loved that girl.

I like the Great Outdoors, but the kid actors in the movie are weak.

I always thought they were trying to get Fred Savage for the youngest son and settled for some wannabe.

That kid in particular is one of the worst kid actors I've ever seen.

Love this movie, watch it every Summer to kick things off.

Loved it. That bear pic reminds me of how in that scene you can clearly see the trainer's stick poking the bear.

Also, apparently the hot chick is a lawyer now.

NO ONE IS BLOWING ANYTHING OUT OF THEIR ASS

Watching that movie is like taking a mini vacation. I love it.

"ROMAN:" I tell you what I see when I look out there. I see the undeveloped resources of Minnesota, Northern Wisconsin, and Michigan. I see a syndicated development consortium exploiting over a billion and a half dollars in forest products. I see a paper mill and if the strategic metals are there, a mining operation. A greenbelt between the condos on the lake and a waste management facility focusing on the newest rage in toxic waste, medical refuse. Infected bandages, body parts, IV tubing, contaminated glassware, entrails,syringes, fluids, blood, low grade radioactive waste all safely contained sunken in the lake and sealed for centuries. Now I ask you what do you see?
"CHET:" I just see trees.
"ROMAN:" Well nobody ever accused you of having a grand vision.

LOVE THAT MOVIE. So many good quotable lines.

"ROMAN:" You know what the gourmet wanted? HOT DOGS!! you know what those are made of right Chet? Lips and @$$holes!

Porcupine quills. Hates people, loves porcupines. She's in heat too. Too bad you're not a dog. What can I do ya for?

Pontoon boat? What the hell are you gonna do with a pontoon boat? Retake Omaha Beach?

"Sixty-six times in the head?!"

This is my top stopdown movie. I've been able to stop and watch this movie almost every time it's been on. I first saw it on WGN in the summer of '97 or '98. The dubbed version is hilarious; "No one is blowing ANYTHING out of their kazoo!".
