Product Description
Amazon.ca
After winning a tour package in a game show, the bickering Griswald family carve a trail of destruction through England (where they knock over Stonehenge), France, Germany, and Italy. Somehow Ellen (Bevery D'Angelo), the mom, gets kidnapped by gangsters, leading to a car chase that reunites the family, despite their differences. It's hard to believe that National Lampoon's European Vacation is only the second of the Vacation movies; it has the exhausted pallor of the last of a long series of sequels, drained of all zest or original ideas. The charmless smirk of Chevy Chase, mechanical in its idiocy, hangs over European Vacation like a death mask. It's hard to believe that this hack was once the funny and sexy hero of Foul Play. D'Angelo keeps her chin up and gives the movie whatever class it may have; she deserves better. --Bret Fetzer
Product Description
The Griswalds are on vacation again when they win a deluxe tour of the old world and take on the European continent -- the continent loses.

I was very disappointed when I purchased the dvd from Amazon.com only to find that parts of the movie are cut and some
of the language has been either eliminated or dubbed.
I expect to purchase a movie in its entirety. I feel
I was cheated. I absolutely loved this movie and
I don't feel we should purchase movies that
have been edited from its original content.

Format:DVD
This is the only Vacation dvd in widescreen. Why? It's the 2nd weakest film, and it was shot in full screen. Thats right. Thats why its the full screen with additional black bars. Tht's how it was shown theatrically. It's called matting. The video is good, but the audio, like the first one is in dull, dated, and strident mono. The fidelity is weak, too. This film is a 4 star film, and the disc is a 2-star one. It is an underrated film that is worth renting. Thank you for taking the time to read my review and God Bless America!

This movie will remain funny forever. Chevy Chase was the very best in these National Lampoon movies. I continually get a laugh out of them all. The funniest part for me in this movie was when they visit the relatives in Germany!!! So funny. I am sure everyone know the story so I won't go in to that. I certainly don't care for the casting of the children in this movie...liked the cast of the children in Christmas Vacation better but other than that it deserves a watch and a good chuckle will be your reward.

Oh boy
Another trip for the Griswalds. It just doesn't work in Europe of course, and neither does the plot. So not funny.
