Brief synopsis of National Lampoon's Vacation
Join the Griswolds, a typical suburban family, on their summer vacation, a cross-county trip to their favorite amusement park, Walley World. Everything that can go wrong does go wrong in this outrageous farce, featuring the comic genius of Chevy Chase as the desperate dad looking for fun and Beverly D'Angelo as his willing wife. As they wind their way across the country, the Griswolds are forced to survive a series of absurd events and wacky detours. By the time they finally reach the gates of Walley World, they are more desperate for fun than ever.

Critics Reviews
Radio Times
National Lampoon's first outing — 1978's Animal House — is still the funniest by far, but this is a decent effort (and definitely miles better than subsequent movies in the series: European Vacation, Christmas Vacation, Class Reunion etc). Chevy Chase plays the put-upon dad who sets off to take his family across America to an amusement park, encountering numerous mishaps and disasters along the way. Director Harold Ramis, who went on to make the comedy Groundhog Day, keeps the silliness coming at a fast and furious pace, and he is ably abetted by a supporting cast that includes Beverly D'Angelo, Randy Quaid, Christie Brinkley and John Candy.
Variety
"...An enjoyable trip through family comedy landscapes....There's plenty of fun here for anybody who can relate from the front or back seat..."
New York Times
"...Fast, funny satire....Chase plays Clark Griswold with much more of an edge than he's brought to any other recent roles..."
