Directed by Amy Heckerling
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.

Interestingly, the English version of 99 Luftballons hardly charted here at all. Plastic Bertrand's song was huge due to appearing on the soundtrack of the National Lampoon's European Vacation movie starring Chevy Chase and Beverley D'Angelo.

neutral · AI labelView post →NATIONAL LAMPOON'S EUROPEAN VACATION (1985, DVD, #film) Amy Heckerling directs a Robert Klane script about idiot Americans abroad. The disconnected bits run from big-chortles to DOA; the fat joke run is especially dire. Beverly D'Angelo is never escaping the World's Hottest Cinema Mom allegations.

neutral · AI labelView post →[@[email protected]](https://sub.wetshaving.social/u/djundjila) [@[email protected]](https://sub.wetshaving.social/u/PorkButtsNTaters666) As an American who thinks that National Lampoon's European Vacation is a documentary, it bothered me too. As I suspect you already know, it is a word in Portuguese. It means cliché, as you might expect.

And Chevy visiting Bavarian relatives and competing in Beerfest did tough competition to Chaplin. A must see comedy.
