Product Description

The all-American Griswold family just wants to go on an all-American vacation. Everyone is packed. The route is planned ... And absolutely everything goes wrong as a simple trip quickly becomes a madcap cross-country odyssey and heroic quest in search of National Lampoon's Vacation. For the Clark W. Griswolds of Chicago, 50 weeks of work and routine will soon be rewarded with a fortnight of frenzied freedom. Mom and the kids would rather fly, but Dad (Chevy Chase) insists on driving west to Walley World. He's programmed everything on the family's PC--from tire wear to best routes, from choice sights to the finest AAA-recommended lodgings. With such planning everything should go right ... Wrong!!

I love this movie! Maybe it's the crush I had on Dana Barron(Audrey). Maybe it's Walley World. Maybe it's Christie Brinkley. Maybe it was seeing Rusty drinking his first beer. Maybe it's wacky Chevy Chase, who plays an everyman dad who can't do anything right. I've seen this at least 100 times and it never grows old. Hilarious.

    This is by far one of my all time favorite movies. Chevy Chase is hilarious! This is a classic that all families should see! I would definitely wait until you have older teenagers. They talk about marijuana, making out and dirty magazines. (Not a lot just a little bit) but it’s overall a family movie that’s fun for all!

    National Lapoon's Vacation started a whole franchise of 3 sequels that made Chevy Chase & Beverly D'Angelo majors stars overnight. The First Movie tells of a Father who decides that rather than take a flight to Wally World is a waste of time, he wants the whole family on a 2,460 mile road trip across the country that lasted 2 weeks so he can bond with his son & daughter but along the way, he encounters short-cuts, detours, mishaps & so on. Nothing like a good family get together to keep from losing your sanity.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Take a Trip Down the 'Holiday Road' with the Griswalds!
    Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2003
    Verified Purchase
    Harold Ramis' second directorial effort, NATIONAL LAMPOON'S VACATION, penned by 80s 'teen film master' John Hughes, lacks the 'over-the-top' madness of his first feature, CADDYSHACK, but offers Chevy Chase in what has become his signature role, and enough sight gags and one-liners to make it an enduring favorite, and start a franchise of VACATION films.

    As Clark Griswold, Chase is the embodiment of an 'average American dad', none too bright, but anxious to take his family on a bonding cross-country 'dream vacation' to 'Disneyland' caricature, Wally World. From the opening moments, when he is conned by a smooth-talking salesman (a wickedly deadpan Eugene Levy) into buying a truly hideous station wagon for the trek, you know that this family outing is in for serious trouble! Nevertheless, his devoted wife, Ellen (sweet and sexy Beverly D'Angelo), and less-than-devoted kids, Rusty and Audrey (the terrific Anthony Michael Hall and Dana Barron) are sucked into Clark's dream, and soon the family is bouncing across the U.S.A., to the tune of Lindsey Buckingham's 'Holiday Road'.

    The journey is a series of slapstick vignettes, ranging from hilarious (Chase's spectacular arrival at a motel, after falling asleep behind the wheel), to silly (the running appearances of supermodel Christie Brinkley, and Chase's attempts to look like a 'swinger' to impress her), to questionable (asking for directions in a Black ghetto of St. Louis, offering a variety of racial stereotypes that director Ramis himself says was in poor taste). A comic highpoint comes when the family visits unemployed cousin Eddie (the irrepressible Randy Quaid) and his 'trailer trash' family. While Eddie offers Clark 'used' beer and tries to hit him up for a 'small' loan to help put him 'back on his feet' ($52,000!), his wife serves up Hamburger Helper without hamburger, his son turns Rusty on to his pornographic magazine collection, and his oldest daughter shares with Audrey her expertise in 'French kissing' ("Daddy says I'm the best...") and stash of marijuana. As a final insult, acerbic Aunt Edna (the legendary Imogene Coca) and her psycho dog are dumped on the Griswalds...with ultimately calamitous results!

    Finally, the family reaches Wally World...only to find it closed for annual cleaning and maintenance! In the original climax of the film, Chase then tracked down the home address of Walt Disney-based 'Roy Wally' (screen legend Eddie Bracken), and got revenge by trashing his mansion. This ending played disastrously with preview audiences, however, and the cast was reassembled (Hall had grown several inches...check it out!) and a hasty rewrite was shot, with Clark buying a BB gun, and forcing his way into the closed park, getting a security guard (the wonderful John Candy, in a cameo) to turn on the rides, and show them the '(bleep)in good time' he'd promised his family. An army of police and S.W.A.T. converge on the park, and Roy Wally arrives to decide their fate. The new ending got very positive feedback from audiences, and is the version seen in the final cut of the film.

    VACATION was a major commercial hit when released, spawning three sequels (the second, CHRISTMAS VACATION, has become a holiday favorite, and is the best of the series). While the first film is certainly not a classic, it is a better film than some critics have implied, and has a loyal following.

    Next time you plan a family vacation, check it out...and remember, don't tie your dog's leash on the rear bumper of the car!

    Esta edición en 4K es un verdadero lujo para una película que se vuelve atemporal; evidentemente algunas bromas son un tanto subidas de tono y quizás impropias para los tiempos que vivimos. Aún así, es una gran oportunidad para volver a ver o descubrir este clásico con Chevy Chase que nos da toneladas de diversión. Hay escenas que se volvieron hitos de la cultura popular. La edición en 4K no ofrece Dolby Atmos o Vision pero el escalado es decente y se siente natural con el soundtrack distintivo. Contiene su slipcover que celebra los 100 años de Warner Brothers.

    Meine Überschrift mag vielleicht einen Schritt zu weit gehen, was wohl daran liegt, dass ich diesen Film schon als Kind unheimlich geliebt habe, auch wenn ich sicherlich nicht alles verstanden habe, da vieles von dem Humor sich an eindeutig älteres Publikum richtet.

    Dennoch würde ich, wenn ich versuche, diese Erinnerungen auszublenden, so weit gehen, zu sagen, dass dies sowohl Harold Ramis, als auch John Hughes bester Film ist. Vielleicht auch Chevy Chase, der in seiner Karriere viele mittelmäßige Filme gemacht hat.

    Vielleicht gefallen Ramis andere Filme dem ein oder anderen etwas mehr und man muss zugeben, dass sie verdammt gut sind. Ich finde jedoch, dass gerade bei Vacation, wie der Film im Original heißt, einfach alles zusammenpasst und die Schauspieler ihren Job super machen. Man merkt, dass alle an dem Film beteiligten ihren Spaß dabei haben und ich finde gerade sowas macht eine gute Komödie aus.

    Ich habe gesagt, dass es auch Hughes bester Film ist, und hierüber kann man sich glaube ich eher streiten als über Ramis, da man bedenken muss ,dass Hughes eine breite Masse an verschiedenen Filmen geschrieben hat, sei es Vacation oder Home Alone oder Planes, Trains and Automobiles oder auch Breakfast Club. Das sind Filme, die in ihrem jeweiligen Genre als die besten akzeptiert werden, die je gemacht worden sind. Drei davon sind Komödien und einer eine Coming-of-Age Geschichte mit humorvollen Akzenten. Diesen Filmen ist jedoch gemein, dass sie sich nie in ihrem Humor verlieren, sondern stets auf einen Höhepunkt hinführen, der einem das Herz erweichen lässt. Sie zeigen eine Moral, ohne moralisierend zu sein, wie die das zum Beispiel bei der Cosby Show der Fall war.

    Dieser Film kann jedem ans Herz gelegt werden, der Komödien mit Herz mag und sich vor auch vor derbem Humor nicht scheut.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Einer der Klassiker mit Familie Griswold..
    Reviewed in Germany on December 1, 2009
    Verified Purchase
    Dieser Film ist meiner Meinung nach der Zweitbeste (fast zusammen mit "Hilfe, die Amis kommen")der Viererreihe "Die schrillen Vier".
    Der Humor im Film ist wie bei den Anderen einfach göttlich, weil er teilweise einfach nur flach & sinnlos ist (ja, beides schließt sich NICHT aus), einen wesentlichen Teil dazu trägt aber auch der Umstand bei, dass ich Chevy Chase alias Clark Griswold unheimlich als Schauspieler liebe, was vor allem dank "Schöne Bescherung" herrührt, weil er dort unangefochten und unerreichbar perfekt (ebenso wie seine anderen Familymitglieder) hereinpasst.

    Die Gesten, überhaupt die Mimik und das gesamte Auftreten von Clark tragen viel zur tollen Atmosphäre bei.
    Die Mischung aus Tollpatsch, skurrilen Ideenhaber und liebenswürdigem Familienvater macht es einfach aus.
    Aber auch der Rest der Sippe passt gut in das Umfeld hinein.

    Vor allem wird immer wieder die Familie als doch recht dümmlich dargestellt, ohne dass dies dabei aber in irgendeiner Art und Weise verachtend, einfach nur "sich darüber lächerlich machen" oder sonstiges herüberkommt.

    Es lässt einen immer wieder schmunzeln, wie geschickt diese Dummheit als Grundlage des Humors ausgenutzt wird.

    Warum es trotzdem nicht 5 Sterne gibt?? Weil (meiner Meinung nach) schöne Bescherung der beste Teil der Serie ist und ich dann diesem 6 Sterne geben müsste, was aber nicht geht.

    Stört euch nicht dran, ich empfehle den Film fast uneingeschränkt weiter.

    Achja, noch was zur DVD Quali: Die ist total in Ordnung, gilt für Ton und Bild. (4,25*) = 4 Sterne!!
