The critics have spoken, and they're not impressed—but National Lampoon's European Vacation has enough charm and quotable moments to justify a watch if you're in the mood for '80s comedy that doesn't take itself seriously. The Griswold family's bumbling antics across Europe hit more often than they miss, so don't let the mediocre scores scare you off if you love Chris Cheadle's comedic timing and gratuitous fish-out-of-water humor.

Plot

The Griswolds win a vacation to Europe on a game show, and so pack their bags for the continent. They do their best to catch the flavor of Europe, but they just don't know how to be be good tourists. Besides, they have trouble taking holidays in countries where they CAN speak the language.
