Reviews for Vegas Vacation
It's a bad sign when National Lampoon wants its name out of the title.

The subplots involving D'Angelo and Newton and Ethan Embry -- the Griswolds' son, who can't stop winning -- have their charms.

Top CriticA tepid fourth entry in the popular 1980s series that is decidedly showing its age.

Top CriticThe film's only life is provided by Randy Quaid, back as Ellen's redneck cousin.

Top CriticThis is not the sort of comedy that asks much of a viewer, and it's not as if you have to engage your brain.
