Film critics are not impressed by Ed Helms’ new slapstick comedy “Vacation,” a sequel to 1983 Chevy Chase vehicle “National Lampoon’s Vacation.”
With just a 29 percent approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, at the moment, the majority of critics are in agreement that the Warner Bros. release has potential as a family road trip gone awry, but fails to live up to expectations. Helms (“The Hangover”) stars as Rusty Griswold, who is married with kids of his own now and wants to relive his childhood trip to Walley World, so he drags his family across the country to do so.
