Amazon.com: 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

Rating: - An Absolute Classic
This movie is a classic, simply put. Yes, it does have a cheesy 80s humor to it, but that only adds to it. Clark Griswold reminds me of my own dad with his clueless, somewhat unintentional I-know-whats-best attitude. I've watched this movie countless times before and I still find it refreshing and brilliant each time I see it.
I highly recommend seeing this movie, however in the unedited version.
Rating: - The worst of the four.
National Lampoon's European Vacation is just plain horrible. I hate this one more than Vegas Vacation, Vacation and Christmas Vacation are the most funny and original. I am surprised this second film of the franchise is directed by Amy Heckerling, all of her other films are brilliant. Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo reprise their roles and even though all the Rusty's and Audrey's are different actors, these two airheads are so untalented, where did they get these two kids from? Stay away from European Vacation, it's a piece of trash.
Rating: - Almost as good as the first one
This is almost as good as the first vacation however it is better than Las Vegas, just remember it does have some cheezy eighties in it.
Rating: - Chevy Chase
It's not as good as the first Vacation, but if you like Chevy Chase, you won't be disappointed. It is typical situations for Chevy. You will see it coming, but you will laugh anyway.
