Join the Wild Ride: Celebrate the Hilarity of National Lampoon's Vacation!
A family's quest for a perfect road trip to Walley World spirals into comedic chaos, with mishaps, quirky encounters, and a relentless pursuit of happiness while navigating the absurdity of American vacation culture.
The original working title of National Lampoon's Vacation was Vacation 58, referencing the year of the Griswold family's disastrous road trip.
The iconic car used in the film, a blue 1981 Ford Country Squire station wagon, was nicknamed the Family Truckster and was intentionally designed to look unappealing with an exaggerated paint job.

Toy Story 5 is way better than any 5th iteration of a series has any right to be. Sequels really can keep being good if you give them time. This was a blast for the whole family. It's been a long time since so much of the humor in a movie hit just perfectly. Dads and moms were laughing just as much as the kids. An awesome movie.
Watched this in theaters. Was a fun popcorn movie. I didn't like it as much as the first movie though. The nostalgia moments are a lot of fun for me, but the first movie had a ton of those too.
I need to rewatch this and see if it moves from a like to a favorite for me. I forget about it, see it mentioned, and remember that it was way better than I thought it was going to be. This is a great one to watch if you haven't yet.
