Ranking The First Four Vacation Movies

3) European Vacation (1985)

This felt like it could have been hilarious, but the script felt rushed. There are sequences that could have worked, such as visiting the wrong relatives in Germany, but they only come off as mildly amusing. Eric Idle as a recurring character who Clark keeps injuring is pretty funny, but nothing in this movie really makes you laugh your ass off. It’s all fairly mediocre comedy. The problem is they give more attention to Rusty (Jason Lively) and Audrey (Dana Hill), and honestly, we don’t care about them. Two cringe worthy scenes include the dream sequences on the plane, and the fashion montage. While they probably worked in 1985 when this film was released, they’ve aged horribly.

  1. ummm NO, moron.

    Vegas Vacation is the best movie in the series BY FAR.
    Then Christmas Vacation for being an amazing Christmas movie, then the original for being just above okay, and European is dead last because Europe just sucks.

    Stay clueless, asshat ; )
