Ryan's Review:Ryan's Review:
Hi, I now have short hair. I like it a lot. Props to Larry, my hair stylist. He is one hell of a son of a bitch. About the movie... The Griswalds are back and not quite as funny as usual. This movie is funny, but not up to par with the past three family vacations. The plot was just stupid at some parts, especially the Hoover Dam part. I do have to give it up to the kids in this movie. The funny lookin dude from "Empire Records," and also the bassist in "That Thing You Do," was great as Rusty or "Nick Papagorgio." The daughter was a hotty. I am talking about Da Pumps AND Da Bumps... if you know what I'm saying fellow bastards. Randy Quaid was hiiiilarious and drunk as usual. His character and "Nick Papagorgio" were my favorites and truly carried this movie.
I say see it, but don't expect it to be another "Christmas Vacation." It would also be great if you saw it shnokkered.

Jason's Review:
Hi. Don't think that Ryan is gay because he goes to a stylist. He's gay because he is attracted to men. Anyway, this movie is pretty funny. The guy thay played Rusty is the best part. I disagree with Ryan; Randy Quaid kind of sucked in this movie, but he was still funny just because cousin Eddie is a funny charater. Let's face it, the formula is beginning to run a little thin, they went to the well one too many times, the monkey lost it's tail, and any other cliche that fits here about the fact that this movie isn't that great. I'll admit that I laughed in several places, but overall it's just not as good as the other vacation movies. The whole subplot of "Nick Papagorgio" is almost worth the whole movie. Chevy Chase, I hate to admit, has lost it. He's not nearly as funny as he used to be. He really went foul with "Cops and Robbersons" which I never saw, but know from the preview that it sucked. Because of that movie, Chevy Chase is now tainted. I would recommend this movie, not for a gripping, powerful film, but simply for a good time. Oh yea, "Damn It!!". I've decided that I don't swear as much as the other bastards, especially Tim.

P.S. I am not gay (not that there is anything wrong with that). In fact, I hate men, I LOVE WOMEN. I LOVE WOMEN. I LOVE WOMEN. Jason is my bitch. --Ryan
Nate's Review:
This movie is definitely going to make some top ten lists... like the top ten WORST movies of the year! Nowhere in this crummy excuse for a film was there any sort of humor, drama, romanticism, or action of any kind. The only good thing about this film is the "Nick Pappagiorgio" twist that you read about earlier, but even that isn't that great. Chevy tries to be funny, but really fails miserably here. I never really liked Beverly D'Angelo, and she doesn't improve my opinion of her in the least; in fact, I hate her now. Wayne Newton just straight up sucks. His presence only adds to the "bitch-quality" of the movie. Randy Quaid's character is a little amusing, but I've seen Quaid do much funnier roles. He did have the only remotely funny line in the film, however... I think it went something like this: "I haven't been beat this bad since someone put a banana in my pants and I got trapped in the monkey cage at the zoo!" I can't even explain to you how utterly shitty this movie was. To top off the sheer idiocy of the film, there was this fucking guy behind me who was having the time of his obviously pathetic and non-eventful life. He was laughing hysterically. He was one of these fuckers that feel like they have to repeat practically every line that was supposed to be humorous. You know the kind of guy I mean. I've encountered these bitches more often lately, and it's really starting to piss me right the fuck off. "Check your watch! Ohhh, fuck me, that's funny!" "I need my pants! Ha ha ha ha, my sides!" "Clean the grill! Whoo hoo, stop, I'll piss my pants!" "He said give it to me! Hee hee, ohh, my fuck!" To all of our faithful readers, let me give you a little bit of advice on movie theater etiquette--NEVER REPEAT LINES. Trust me, the volume's up loud enough so that EVERYONE can hear the dialogue just fine without some ass hole repeating everything to you in a voice that seems akin to a drunken mentally retarded ricket's (not that there's anything wrong with that). On top of that bullshit, some fucking bitches actually applauded at the end of this movie! Holy shit! Generally, I think applauding in movie theaters is just straight up gay (not that there's anything wrong with that), but I can tolerate applause for certain films--Star Wars, Forrest Gump, etc., you know, good movies, but not complete wastes of time like "Vegas Vacation". They were clapping while I felt like flipping off the screen. Under no circumstances see this movie, even if it's in a dollar theater. That's $1.50 more than this sorry piece of shit is worth. I don't care if you are a huge fan of the other "Vacation" movies, don't see this. It will ruin your opinion of the cast. This is the shittiest movie I have seen for a long ass time. I almost left the theater early in disgust of the vile drivel that was being thrust onto the screen. I'm going to puke now.
Rating: -5 out of 10 films that don't deserve applause
