I just saw "Vacation". The movie is fresh on my mind, this is not based on the trailer or other reviews.
10 REASONS WHY "VACATION" SUCKED
1. You can't help but compare and think about the original 1983 Vacation. When you park a Hyundai next to a Ferrari, the Hyundai is going to look even worse than it actually is.
2. Once you decide to stop comparing this to the original classic, you'll soon realize that if you give the movie a chance as a stand-alone modern comedy, it still sucks balls.
3. Kids cussing isn't funny anymore. And when the child actor sounds like he's scared to be using the F word, it is more sad than funny. I hope his real mom whipped him.
4. Freddy Got Fingered showed the world that gross out comedy can go too far and not be funny. Nobody in this movie saw Freddy Got Fingered, because the sewage scene we all saw in the trailer was would make Tom Green puke.
5. Ed Helms - Hangover. Hilarious! Christina Applegate - Anchorman. Hilarious! Ed and Christina together in Vacation - WTF!??
6. Christina Applegate and Beverly D'Angelo are in a scene together. I think it was CGI. Couldn't tell.
7. This generation has its family vacation classic. Its "We're the Millers".
8. The use of the theme song made me sad.
9. Chevy Chase.... what happened to ya?! Stokes? Dementia? Senility? Baby boomers can still be successful as comedy actors. Chevy has lost it, though.
10. I haven't seen it, but I'd go see Ant Man instead. Wish I hadn't blown my free time on Saturday at this piece of crap movie.
