**When the family vacation turns into a nightmare!** Having not seen any previous films in this series, I had nothing to compare with it and to blame for. Though I have seen many similar films, but it was not as bad as they say. In this kind of theme, the basic storyline always remains same, the remaining parts like the characters, locations and the diversions in the story developments are the key. I think they did that decently, the two new directors who also penned the screenplay. Well, this is the story of the Griswold family of a couple and their two teen sons. After realising his family is spiritless with the normal life, the husband surprises his wife and the children to go a vacation. The trip is supposed to have fun, but they find hard to come along in a single mood as a family. Meanwhile, their journey begins to face many hurdles, though they are not giving up. So how memorable their adventure becomes is what unfolds in the remaining section. The cast was good. Both, Ed Helms and Chritina Applegate was impressive, though the film is not laudable. Not all the jokes, but some of them were really cool and most of them were adult stuffs. Yep, this is an R rating film, not a family film, despite the impression you get from its posters. So for the grown ups, this is not a bad film to give a try. I can't suggest or reject on the merit of its previous installments, because I've already given the reason. People like me can definitely have a good time with it. _6.5/10_

<em>'Vacation'</em> is a poor final film (for now, you know they'll make another some day) of this series. It is officially a sequel to the previous films, though it's practically a reboot of sorts - one that, evidently, didn't lead to much. All of this just feels lacklustre and forced. Ed Helms and Christina Applegate aren't the best pairing, their performances aren't anything to shout about either. Helms particularly feels ill-fitting for his role. Skyler Gisondo and Steele Stebbins, the kids, are actually fairly decent, better than the adults for sure. Chris Hemsworth's part is a little amusing, though very quickly gets repetitive; despite minimal screen time. Another two who also appear for only a short time are Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo. Good to see 'em return but again, forced. D'Angelo is super sidelined, barely has a line iirc. Some of the 'supporting cast' are at least interesting to see involved, namely Charlie Day, Ron Livingston, Keegan-Michael Key, Regina Hall and there's a small cameo from a certain <em>'The Walking Dead'</em> star - I didn't expect it, but welcomed all the same. Anyway, yeah... glad this was the last movie. This 2015 flick is very short of laughs. 5/10 it is, for me.
