Synopsis
Roxy Hart will do anything to get famous; she cheats on her husband (John C. Riley) with a furniture salesman because he tells her that he can get her a jazz act in a club. When he admits that he was lying about his contacts at the jazz club she kills him in a fit of rage. She convinces her somewhat dim husband to lie to the police and take the blame but as he is telling his story to the police he puts one and one together and figures and tells the cops the truth. She finds herself on Chicag...’s famed murderess row with nightclub sensation Velma Kelly. Velma is in jail for murdering her husband and sister after catching the two of them together. Billy Flynn is the most famous lawyer in town and can get anyone off, he manipulates the media and is just as concerned with his own fame as he is with helping his clients.

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.
