Do not let the 6.1 star rating here in imdb fool you, for a modern road trip comedy this was amazing. Rarely have i seen a comedy with so many original scenes and witty dialogue, the producers of this movie have really tried hard to stay away from comedy movie cliches to create something fresh and funny. Ed Helms is simply amazing in this movie, if you like his roles in ''The Office'' or ''Hangover'', expect the same character here, he surely has not lost his charm and talent over the years. For some reason this movie feels a bit different when compared to other modern comedies of this type, it certainly brings something fresh to the table in a genre almost impossible to bring anything new to.
This movie is obviously a bit over the top, awkward and cringy at times, but that plays out greatly when Ed Helms is the main character, of course, Ed Helms delivers his classic awkward cringe worthy character perfectly making this into an amazing modern comedy. Do not look at the bad reviews and ratings, this is a great, action packed, funny comedy that is worth seeing!

Seriously, if everyone would just chill tfo about wanting to compare this version with the original version, you would find this movie is hilarious. First time in years I didn't want to punch Ed Helms in the face after watching him in a movie. The two actors who play the boys in the movie are great. But the gem and queen of this movie is Christina Applegate. All in all, a really funny movie, a lot better than internet trolls have shown it. I just hope the 100 million worldwide gross will generate a remake of Xmas Vacation. I will admit that Chris Hemsworth, Charlie Day, Kaitlyn Olson, Michael Pena, Nick Kroll, either Key or Peele, are great in their own small role way. However, this movie does not provide the Cousin Ed role made famous by Canadian truffle sniffer Randy Quaid.

The headline speaks for all. I love the Griswold movies and this one was so far the best comedy movie in at least 15 years with so many unpredictable moments. I don't laugh easily as well as i don't get scared easily at all. I loved this movie

This movie was absolutely hilarious. It wasn't a redo, it did give some nods to the originals but was its own movie on its own. Just a great movie to sit back relax and laugh. For those of you that are slamming it in reviews, you're just straight up trolling, this is one of the best comedies to come out for a while!
