Clark Griswold (Chevy Chase) decided to take his Wife Ellen (Beverly D'Angelo) and his two teenagers Rusty (Ethan Embry)& Audrey (Marisol Nichols) to Las Vegas for Summer Trip. His family thinks it's a terrible place to go on Vacation at first until Clark convinced them, it would be the perfect family vacation unlike his other vacation failures. Once they are in Las Vegas, each of them for better or worse are experiencing Las Vegas as they never thought it would. Especially when Clark's wife Ellen is been flirted by Vegas Entertainer Wayne Newton!, His son Rusty is enjoyable the high illegal night-life of Las Vegas and his daughter is mesmerized by her cousin Vicki (Shae D'Lyn). Which her cousin is a popular dancer in the seedy small city. As for Clark is been losing money consistently by playing Black Jack with a professor card dealer (Wallace Shawn).
Directed by Stephen Kessler made an enjoyable third sequel to the ever-popular "Vacation" movies. The cast seems to be having an great time in this film. including Randy Quaid as Cousin Eddie. Quaid is always a hoot in the series. But the film does have its share of flaws, including a scene in the Hoover Dam. Which it should have been much funnier and a few key sequences as well. But Chase and the actors, who play his family make up for most of the flaws in this film. It is surprisingly light as well, which John Hughes didn't write this movie. Which the previous "Vacation" films had dark ironic sense of humour, which this one doesn't.
DVD has an sharp anamorphic Widescreen (1.78:1) transfer and an decent Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound. DVD doesn't have any features besides original theatrical trailer, production notes and cast & crew information. This movie has some surprise cameos, Siegfried & Roy show sequence is one of the highlights of the movie. Producer Jerry Weintraub (Ocean Series, The Karate Kid Series, Soldier) appears in a amusing bit part as a High Roller Gambler. It's a good comedy with decent low-brow laughs. (*** ½/*****). |
