National Lampoon's European Vacation Reviews

This broad comedy touches on all the funny and awful elements of family travel, from bickering siblings to managing unfamiliar customs.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 17, 2023

Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo's infectious enthusiasm manages to sweep you along (as begrudgingly as kids Jason Lively and Dana Hill) on this cliché-ridden package tour.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 13, 2020

The film spares us no stereotypes.

| Aug 13, 2020

Overall, it's not quite funny or memorable enough.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 13, 2020

Broad, sketchlike, and arbitrarily assembled, Amy Heckerling's 1985 film fritters away the considerable credit of relative psychological realism and dramatically consistent situations built up by its predecessor...

It must have been fun for the film's makers to work in London, Paris, Rome and Southern Germany, but their fun didn't get exported to us.

The best thing in the movie is the catchy theme from the last "Vacation," which, unfortunately, hasn't the slightest thing to do with Europe.

| Jan 2, 2018

Awkward and unamusing and ridiculous in the bad way.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Sep 30, 2011

I see London, I see France, I see Chevy do a dumb dance. [Blu-ray]

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Aug 9, 2010

Graceless and only intermittently lit up by lunacy and satire.

Another great Vacation movie. Typical dumb tourist antics in Eurpoe, and it still works.
