Is this a joke?


You've got to be kidding me. Why? Who are the wizards at NBC that thought this would be funny?

reply

Try to keep an open mind. I hope that it turns out to really good despite your negative remark. People will watch this and there will be those that are already excited about it. You don't have to watch it if you think it is not clever enough for you.

on now. they turned Eddie from a dimwit to having no intlligence at all. it is ten minutes in and very painful to watch...

reply

Well, we're almost an hour into this now, and I must say...jesus god this hurts. I havent experienced movie pain like this since I sat through Gigli. At least Sung Hi Lee gives me SOMETHING worth looking at. Although as far as a career this is a long, hard fall for a former playmate. Its reasons like this why IMDB should include negaive ratings for movies. On my rating system this scores 5 hot pokers up Matty Simmmons ass for writing this nightmare. I am so ashamed of National Lampoons.

you have to go to the deeper, more ethereal literature level. So far we've got Jaws meets Return to Gilligan's Island meets Lord of the Flies (with maybe a little Return to Blue Lagoon thrown in)

reply

I think it's more like Swiss Family Robinson meets The Stupids. And so I must ask... Who has more talent Randy Quaid or Tom Arnold? HAHAHAHA! Happy Holidays to everyone.

reply

Good point; have the two ever been seen at the same place at the same time. Maybe it's like that Van Halen/KISS thing...

i changed it right when i seen jake thomas. who would of thought the little brat from lizzie maguire would play on one of the vacation movies?

reply

oh wow, and now a new level of cinematography: the silent-movie Tarzan dream sequence!

Cousin Eddy was annoyingly hilarious in the real movie, now he's just annoying.

Help answer this please.

Is there a character in any Lampoon's called Papa Georgio? or papageorgio?
Two people have mentioned that this name appears in the movies but don't know which Lamppon.

Thanks.

Unfortunately for Dana Barron (based on her filmography on this site) this is one of the "highlights" of her career since Vacation.

And there is something worse than this move: the extended DVD release!

reply

Well, at least I don't feel so bad for forgetting to start the VCR :-)

antiquebee,
Actually, Ethan Embry's character Rusty Griswold used the name Nick Papagiorgio in National Lampoon's Vegas Vacation because it was on his fake ID and he used it when he hung around with the "Italian guys". Hope this helped. Happy Holidays to all!!!

reply

Thanks for the response! It helps alot. :) Thanks. Happy Holidays to you also.

reply

"nick papagiorgio" is the name on rusty's fake id in "vegas vacation"

reply

ok, i'm an idiot, someone already answered this one better than me.

reply

Randy Quaid has actually been in good movies (the other Vacation movies...)

so i say randy has more talent.

Apparently, this affiliate thinks it is a joke. The movie isn't even playing where I live (northern California), NBC is playing "The Santa Claus" instead, which ABC is playing later tonight, as well. Huh.

reply

The very first problem with this mess is its existance in the "Vacation" series. "Christmas Vacation" was the third of the "Vacation" series. So this would be the fifth film. However, its title indicates it as being a direct sequel to "Christmas Vacation." So basically, this movie is "National Lampoon's Vaction part 3, part 2: Cousin Eddie's Island Whatever the Hell."

Utterly awful.

reply

Wow, this movie is awful. It looks like it was made by Nickelodeon. Maybe by the makers of Lizzie Maguire. It's sad that Randy Quaid would resort to this film after doing such a great job in the real Vacation movies. All of the real ones are awesome, but it looks like National Lampoon is getting desperate. Come on, a movie about dog jizz (Van Wilder)?

consider yourself lucky... it was painful.

reply

You guys are all idiots!!!!!!!!! Do you not have anything better then to sit here and gripe about a movie. My god grow up! I am sure there are many people including myself who has enjoyed this movie by not placing alot of comparison against it and rating it as a movie by itself. I think this movie deserves at least 2.5 stars.

Sh*tter was full! This was just the overflow...

Unfortunately, no jokes to be found here. Move a long.

after viewing the classic christmas vacation movie, i was in the mood to check this out again because i like the location and the idea of a sequel to one of the most popular holiday movies, but it's just impossible to get into, it's like they put no effort in making good jokes, while the not so subtle dropping of advertisement on the beach, special effects that are possibly the worst i have ever seen, and it's like they scrapped together what of the old cast they could get a hold of, they got one kid from one of the vacation movies, eric idle from the second movie making a cameo, and of course cousin eddie and his wife which this movie builds from, enough to use the title of a sequel and cash in during commercial breaks, the only one positive thing i can give this is watching it as a teen i was really taken with the hula girl joining them on the island, still, as bad as this is, i consider the 2014 vacation remake/sequel the worst movie i have ever seen, so it's really remarkable how awful the attempts have been to continue this franchise after the comedy classics from the 1980's, the last real vacation movie (vegas vacation, 1997) wasn't funny, but at least it's a great pleasure to see the original family in another vacation, something the 2014 movie could have had going for it but instead puts clark and ellen in cameos and misses out on the opportunity to make an awesome reunion. did you know each opening of the first seasons of the sitcom "married with children" uses stock footage from the first vacation movie.
