Vacation Red Band Trailer
That little exchange betweenEd Helmsand his son, who’s never heard of the original vacation, shows that this comedy is well aware of the legacy the classic comedy has, but isn’t afraid to journey on its own path. This is certainly more raunchy and vulgar than the first film, but it looks extremely funny. But it’s nice to see the film still has roots since Rusty has inherited some of his father’s cluelessness about life and rimjobs.
Christina Applegatealso stars in the film as Rusty’s wife, withSkyler Gisondo(Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb) andSteele Stebbins(A Haunted House 2) as their kids. In addition,Leslie Mannplays Audrey Griswold andChris Hemworthplays her husband, and as you can see, he’s carrying around more than Thor’s hammer in this flick. Oh, and in case you didn’t notice,Chevy ChaseandBeverly D’Angeloare back as Clark and Ellen Griswold.
Directing the film isJohn Francis Daley & Jonathan Goldstein(writers ofHorrible Bosses), working from a script they wrote based on characters created by John Hughes. It looks like these two have a bright future in directing comedies ahead of them.
Following in his father’s footsteps and hoping for some much-needed family bonding, a grown-up Rusty Griswold (Ed Helms) surprises his wife, Debbie (Christina Applegate), and their two sons with a cross-country trip back to America?s “favorite family fun park,” Walley World.
Vacationhits theaters late this summer on July 29th (that’s a Wednesday).
