Title: THEY FORGOT TO PACK THE LAUGHS
Review: This second entry in the NL VACATION series is pretty lame; it's like the scriptwriters forgot to pack any laughs to accompany the Griswolds. I kept waiting for something really funny to happen as it did in the first Vacation film. But in this one, the Griswolds win a trip to Europe, and wind up destroying the Stonehenge in England; doing absolutely nothing in Paris; causing a brouhaha at a festival in Germany; and chasing kidnappers in Rome. Ho hum...and it's all done with no verve or energy. Chevy Chase looks bored to tears and Beverly D'Angelo tries so hard it's pitiful. The kids, Dana Hill and Jason Lively, are even more obnoxious than the first time. All in all, a capital offense: a comedy that just isn't funny.
Is the review positive or negative?
