About
the Film:
Everything
is planned, packed – and about to go hilariously wrong. The Griswolds are going
on vacation. In the driver’s seat is Clark Griswold (Chevy Chase), an Everyman
eager to share the open road and the wonders of family togetherness. Myriad
mishaps, crude kin (Randy Quaid), encounters with a temptress (Christie
Brinkley), financial woes, Aunt Edna (Imogene Coca) on the roof, one security
guard (John Candy) and 2,460 miles later, it’s a wonder the Griswolds are
together. There’s never been a family vacation like it. Except maybe yours. And
that helps explain why National Lampoon’s Vacation remains so
popular… and so very funny.
