vacation

Full disclosure: I missed the last 10 minutes of Vacation. Last night’s press screening started 20 minutes late, then began without any sound, which lead to a 10 minute delay to correct the technical difficulties. With an unbreakable engagement elsewhere, I had to sneak out right before the very last scene. So take this review with as many grains of salt as you’d like. If you think those final minutes might recontextualize everything that came before to transform a generally miserable comedy into a beacon of transcendent hilarity, so be it. Having sat through the previous 90 minutes, I’m of the opinion that nothing short of the long-lost missing footage from Orson Welles’ Magnificent Ambersons could have redeemed this dreadful film.

Some people might argue that if you NEVER go on vacation you are an amazing employee. Others may argue that taking a few vacations a year is necessary to be a good employee.

Vacations are awesome... but so is extra money. So if you were given the option, which would you choose to have more of?

We all love vacation. Vacation is time that is set aside for our families, away from work. So, in my mind there is no such thing as a bad vacation. Apparently, I am wrong.

What at first seemed like a silly idea for a reboot/sequel has already proven itself as incredibly promising with just a couple of trailers — a new trailer for Vacation has arrived, and it’s just as funny as the previous ones (although it features less of Chris Hemsworth’s, um, area). A new generation of Griswolds hit the road for Walley World, and the results appear to be even more disastrous than the original gang’s vacation attempts.

The new Vacation may bear the same name as the old Vacation, but it’s actually a sequel, taking place a few decades after the first ill-fated Griswold family trip to Walley World. The first trailer for this new version has arrived and while it has the same title and premise as its predecessor, it bends over backwards to let you know that Ed Helms is the same Rusty Griswold from 32 years ago, all grown up. Can we call this a rebootquel?

My family and I are gearing up to leave on the ultimate cheesy traditional family vacation. Before we leave I am trying to gather as much information from families that have already taken this vacation. I want to make sure we don't miss anything while we are at Disneyland!

Anytime you do anything with kids there is only a thin line between when it is fun and when it turns into a meltdown. We found that out on our last road trip and luckily the line of terror was never crossed on our latest trip to the amusement park.

Thanks to my kids - we all know that it is not exactly enjoyable or relaxing traveling with kids. But that doesn't mean you can't try to make it nice. But it is summertime and you are probably planning some fun trip in the next few weeks, so how do you plan a perfect road trip?

This survey found that 92% of Americans will take a vacation this summer.  Of those people, about 23% will take a vacation alone .   That means about one quarter of us will go on vacation sans family. We asked if you would vacation without your family and we had mixed response...

Just when you thought 'Community' ensured Chevy Chase would be out of our hair for a while and the Ed Helms continuation of National Lampoon's 'Vacation' franchise had collapsed, in comes ABC with a TV reunion of the famous road trip family's parents, Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo!
