An average movie
Posted : 6 years, 2 months ago on 14 February 2018 09:21
Since I kept hearing some really good things about this movie, I was really eager to check it out and since it is considered as one of the best American comedies ever made, I had some rather high expectations. Well, to be honest, it turned out to be a decent watch but not much more than that, I'm afraid. Eventually, what bothered me the most was that even though it was fairly entertaining, it was never really hilarious. On top of that, some of the jokes were just seriously misguided. I mean, I didn't mind so much about the dog who died because they forgot that he was tied to the rear bumper but the scene where they just dumped their dead aunt first on their roof of their car and then on the porch of some relatives was just seriously lugubrious and not funny whatsoever. Concerning Christie Brinkley, sure, she was very lovely to look at but her scenes were just silly and didn't work with the rest of the movie. At least, Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo had a nice chemistry and the Griswolds made a believable and relatable family. Anyway, once again, it shows I don't feel much love for John Hugues's work but I have to admit that this movie is still worth a look, especially if you like the genre.

Vacation review
Posted : 8 years, 5 months ago on 6 November 2015 02:41
Thoughts before I watched this.
1. I decided to watch this since I'm going to go on my own vacation later this month.
2. Another reason is this is a classic I really should have watched by now.
3. It's back when Chevy Chase was awesome and funny.
4. Harold Ramis directed (early years style) and John Hughes wrote the script!
5. John Candy need I say more?
6. It's more than likely going to be loads better than the reboot/sequel hybrid.
7. Some of the young cast here is pretty well known today like Anthony Michael Hall and Jane Krakowski.
8. It's also back when National Lampoon was fun.
9. Let's get this show on the road!

9. Let's get this show on the road!
"The Griswold family's cross-country drive to the Walley World theme park proves to be much more arduous than they ever anticipated."
Thoughts while I watched this.
1. So it starts similarly with the newest film showing a wide collection of pictures.
2. It's even the same music nice!
3. Haha what the hell?
4. Man Beverly D'Angelo was a babe!
5. That has got to be quite amusing to do in those days.
6. Jimmy Crack Corn is quite repetitive.
7. I don't think kids of this day and age even know the song anymore.
8. An oddly designed car, but the reboot's car was way more ridiculous.
9. Well that was stereotypical.
10. Still you should be careful about where you stop.
11. If sleep is mentioned chances of that happening usually are quite big.
12. Hubba Hubba Ellen!
13. Lol wtf did she say?
14. Talk about a dysfunctional family.
15. That dog has no chill.
16. The kind of dark comedy that doesn't usually amuse me works well here.
17. Just got put in their place for real.
18. He is definitely exaggerating that haha.
19. Um I don't think that's a good sign.
20. That guy had it coming.
21. Now they know what I know.
22. Seems like a mental breakdown of sorts.
23. Oh man what are the chances?
24. He is talking way too much lol.
25. Way to go! Way to go. Smh
26. Once again thank you Helen.
27. Aw man what a shame.
28. He definitely is insane.
29. Woohoo legendary John Candy!
30. I mean it could be a real gun, but I think it's a water gun.
31. Well that actually didn't go the expected route.
32. Oh the hilarity of the excessiveness.
33. Very smooth. Very smooth indeed.
34. These pictures aren't as amusing as the new movie's pictures were.
35. A nice well rounded ending I think.
Thoughts after I watched this.
1. I now have a new crush with the stunning Beverly D'Angelo who still is attractive for her age.
2. I miss good ole John Candy.
3. I didn't even recognize some of the people I know who act now.
4. I wish National Lampoon still had this level of funny.
5. Old Harold Ramis rocked and of course John Hughes is amazing.
6. If I have problems during vacation it surely never ends up being funny like this.
7. I can see why this is a classic with it's humor and acting.
8. Even with it being over 30 years old it still manages to make you laugh.
9. If you haven't seen this yet like me I say you really should join the band wagon.
