Warner Bros. Home Entertainment relives the feel of the open
road and family-bonding with the Nov. 3 DVD and Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack (with
UltraViolet) release of the writing and direction team of John Francis Daley
and Jonathan M. Goldstein’s Vacation.
The ARR is 95 days and the box office take during its summer
multiplex run tallied $57.8 million.
The next generation of Griswold’s take to the road as Ed
Helms, who knows all about road trips from hell as Stu in the three Hangover
movies, plays Rusty (the adult version of Anthony Michael Hall), with Christina
Applegate drawing the short straw as his wife Debbie. Skyler Gisondo (Night at the Museum: Secret of
the Tomb, The Amazing Spider-Man, etc.) and Steele Stebbins (A
Haunted House 2) play sons James and Kevin respectively.
There is trouble in the Griswold clan, Ed and Debbie’s
marriage is in on the rocks and to add that — which is to be expected when you
put Griswold’s in a car for an extended period — everything that can possibly
go wrong, goes wrong on this return trip to Wally World. In the end, such calamities prove to be a
marriage-saver, but it is the getting there that proved to be the most fun.
In a nice touch, Leslie Mann, Beverly D’Angelo and Chevy
Chase reprise their roles from the original Vacation, but sadly
Cousin Eddie (Randy Quaid) is a no-show.
Bonus goodies include a gag reel, deleted scenes and a trio
of featurettes — “Return to Wally World,” “The Griswold Odyssey” and “Georgia.”
