Dolby Digital Mono (English)

It’s hard to imagine that it’s been 20 years since the Griswald family packed up the Family Truckster and stumbled their way halfway across the country to Wally World.Truth be told, I am not much of a Chevy Chase fan. I often find his buffoon act trying and old, but the Vacation films are a notable exception. With today’s political correctness it’s doubtful that the family dog would meet such a horribly funny end (Before you write to tell me how cruel I am, I own a Siberian husky who is loved no matter how much trouble she gets into). I suspect the equally hilarious treatment of the dearly departed Aunt Edna might not cause quite as much stir. I live near the “mouse house” in Florida, so the tourism jokes work exceptionally well on me. Harold Ramis has a reputation for uneven comedy, and Vacation fits that pattern all the way. While much of the film plays like a Saturday Night Live skit, the film can be very funny when it hits.
