Vacation: Ed Helms isn't Chevy Chase

I really enjoyed Vacation, the movie picking up where Rusty Griswold has a family of his own. Ed Helms is Rusty, Christina Applegate is his wife, and there are wonderful cameos from Chris Hemsworth particularly and Beverly DeAngelo, Norman Reedus, Ron Livingston, Charlie Day, Keegan Michael-Key, and Chevy Chase. The tale jumps into Rusty's life where things are boring suburbia heaven and he wants to go on that magical trip to Wallyworld made 30 years earlier with his own family. There are a bunch of really funny gags and a few recurring ones that are great as well. The story is very similar to one we've seen before, but it's much edgier and racier. I love that they reintroduced the filthy mouthed kid in this one to a whole new generation. Hemsworth steals the show for his cameo. HE really just wants to show of his huge abs... Bottom Line: 7.7 out of 10, particularly if you're a fan of the other Vacation movies. It's a worthy remake that really has enough funny stuff going on to carry the same story you've seen many times before. Worth watching for sure.
