Hollywood Reporter

This delirious, entertaining excursion has been trip-ticked by National Lampoon writer John Hughes. He’s penned a four-star entertainment, the kind of thing that even the grumpiest back-seater would agree was worth the visit.

Common Sense Media

Expect lots of profanity, including a tirade filled with 'f--k,' plus insults like 'retard' and 'fat ass.' There's brief female nudity, sexual innuendo, tween boys looking at pornographic magazines, and a man repeatedly fantasizing about a woman who isn't his wife.

Flickside

National Lampoon's Vacation is a delicious slice of ‘80s Americana. After nearly 35 years, this film still tastes as sweetly fun, hilarious, and irreverent.
