"The lowest point on Chevy Chase's career. - Gerry Shamray, Sun Newspapers of Cleveland ...the film is about as brainless as the Griswalds themselves. - John J. Puccio, Movie Metropolis"

Interesting film facts (365 movies items)

"The "Pig In A Poke" game show host Kent Winkdale (played by John Astin) is a parody of two real-life game show hosts. The name "Kent Winkdale" is a parody of Wink Martindale, a notable game show host in the 70s and 80s (most notably as the host of The New Tic Tac Dough), and when he kisses Ellen and Audrey, it is a parody of Richard Dawson who often kissed the female contestants on Family Feud.

Worst of the Worst by The Doctor (93 movies items)

"This could be so good. The first and the third are great! The fourth is enjoyable. But the second was just done in a wrong way. Beginning with the cast of the Griswald kids, not charismatic at all. All Audrey do is scream throughout the entire film! And not in a funny way, so annoying!"
