An Okay Trip

Warning: Spoilers
Viewed on Blu-Ray.

Sequel to National Lampoon's Vacation that sees the Griswold family, after winning a "Family Feud"-esque game show, off on an all expenses paid trip through Europe (specifically England, France, Germany, & Italy).

It's definitely not as good as the first, but still holds a few chuckles. I actually think it's relatively strong during the first half (particularly during the England & France segments), but trails off towards the end where they have to manufacture a big climax (the trip doesn't have a big endgame goal like Walley World in the first film) that doesn't have much to do with the rest of the movie (I think it would have been better if there was some mixup early on that had caused the thieves to follow our family through their trip). It doesn't help much that this has the worst version of the daughter, who spends the entirety of the film worrying about getting fat.
