Movie Review

After two bad movies and a very good one (Christmas Vacation), Vegas Vacation had real potential. Randy Quaid returned to his role as the "hillbilly" cousin and once again you feel sorry for Clark Griswold (Chevy Chase) as his perfect vacation falls apart around him, like always. Unfortunately, this movie lacked good humor and relied a lot more on slapstick comedy than Christmas Vacation. Full movie review »

Sure it's no Star Wars, or Meet the Fockers, but for a gambler, Vegas vacation is true humor. Go gamble before you watch this movie, and you'll realize that it parady's vegas life from the line "changing 1500" to the fact that they always put the machines that "win" right in the front (they don't ever win). In order to understand this movie, you have to know the gambling world. 3 stars out of 4.
