    I don't know why, but National Lampoon's Vegas Vacation is the movie that most reminds me of the passage of time. I guess because Ethan Embry is just a few years older than me but Chevy Chase was 15 years older than the first film?

  • r96sk @r96skTMDB reviews · Feb 5, 2025

    'Vegas Vacation' is decent fare for this franchise, I think I just about enjoyed it. It does go through peaks and troughs, there are some uninteresting moments but by and large what I was viewing was passable entertainment. The Vegas setting and shenanigans keep it watchable, the dam scenes are good too. Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo are back yet again, as is Randy Quaid. I still don't really rate the latter's character all that much, pretty annoying in fact (and not in the intended sense);…
