Finished watching Vacation, directed by Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley and staring Ed Helms, Christina Applegate, Shyler Gisondo, Steele Stebbins, Keegan-Michael Key, Regina Hall and Catherine Missal. The film opens up with pilot Rusty Griswold (Ed Helms) coming home to his wife Debbie (Christina Applegate) and two sons James (Shyler Gisondo) and Kevin (Steele Stebbins) as they prepare for their friends Jack (Keegan-Michael Key) and Nancy (Regina Hall) where the two start talking about their family holiday to Paris making Debbie envious of Nancy. This causes Rusty to decide to hire a rental car and take a cross country road trip to the amusement park Walley World which he went to as a kid with his family. Overall this was a decent film as it has some good comedy with the antics of the family with the rental car being the source of some of the best comedy. The character dynamics are good but are let down by some some parts being resolved fairly easily with things like when Kevin stops bullying James because James gets a burst of confidence thanks to Adena (Catherine Missal), a girl he has a crush on with the next scene making it out that they got into a relationship on the same night Adena got embarrassed by James. 6.5/10.
