NATIONAL LAMPOON'S VACATION
By now, we all know the premise of these Griswald family adventures. Dad Clark (played by Chevy Chase) takes his family on a family vacation to fictional amusement park Wally World.
The travel there is dampered by one horrible accident after another. When they finally reach the park, well, it doesn’t get any better. This is still the best of the series, in the opinion of the majority of fans. This film, 18 years later, is still fresh and extremely funny. This film also featured the best portrayals and actors to do Rusty and Audrey. Randy Quaid, as Cousin Eddie, has a hilarious, but all too brief, appearance in this film. John Candy appears in a funny cameo as well. The classic theme song was done by Lindsey Buckingham. The opening bars of the song are classic and instantly recognizable. This was Chevy Chase at his funniest best. He has never been able to top this. This film has so many classic scenes and classic lines, and that’s the sign of a true comedy classic. This is. Imogene Coca as Aunt Edna is a comedic performance to cherished and remembered. This is a great funny film that will live on forever.
