I watch it three times at the theater when I watched it at 16 in high school . Actually watched a revival showing at the theater in 2019

2021-12-22 22:49:25 +0000 UTCThis movie is one of the few that gets funnier each time you watch it. I wish you’d give it another watch sometime. So many little moments that you can catch. My FIL loves it. I made him a t-shirt that said “Save the neck for me, Clark” haha Like Napoleon Dynamite - actually I hated that movie the first time I watched it. Suddenly, the second time around I “got it” and it has been more and more funny ever since with each rewatch.

2021-12-06 22:38:17 +0000 UTCThe movie was originally going to be “Ski Vacation”, but was downgraded.in rewrites to only one or two gags of Chevy careening downhill. And no, you don’t have to watch the other Vacations, but skipping the original Vacation is on the Essential Big-80’s level of skipping Ghostbusters.

2021-12-06 16:40:02 +0000 UTCLike A Christmas Story, call it “hypnosis”, by a studio—in this case, Warner—that didn’t HAVE any other holiday titles to market at December, and were going to market the one or two they did have until people watched them. Which, in Warner’s case, also explains why a generation grew up beLieving Will Ferrell in “Elf” was an actual thing.

2021-12-06 16:32:40 +0000 UTCYou definitely don’t need to watch European or Vegas vacation

2021-12-06 02:42:29 +0000 UTCDisagree this movie is in my opinion way better than the original.
Jason Nunez
2021-12-05 20:37:08 +0000 UTCYou didn’t have to see the original Vacation movie. Each movie is pretty much stand alone and the actors that play the kids change. I’m not a big fan of Elf but really enjoy Christmas vacation
Jason Nunez
2021-12-05 20:36:19 +0000 UTCThe first one was so much funnier, IMO.
Bill Bevins
2021-12-05 20:14:34 +0000 UTCNope, this movie would not be better seeing the first movie. I enjoy the first one but never understood the fandom for this movie, in fact I think watching this one first might hinder her enjoyment of the original movie.

2021-12-05 20:01:30 +0000 UTCSassy was a teen magazine for girls in the late 80s/early 90s. I used to read it all the time. It was meant to be an edgier, feminist alternative to other popular teen magazines of the time (Seventeen, YM, etc.). I feel roughly the same about this movie. I just can't with Eddie.
