Plot: 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 (B...( read more  )every 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

  Funny as heck! Every time I watch it, it reminds me of when I lived in Europe - especially the traffic circle part. lol

  Watching this film after so many years has brought back a lot of memories for me.
  
  I had such a thing for Rusty (Jason Lively) back then, (I was only 10 when I first saw this film) Watching the film now, I still think that he's cute.
  
  Think the film have stereotyped the English a little too much but apart from that, it's a very good film.

  The sequel to the Vacation movie that takes them to Europe and what is supposed to be fun turns into just silliness and a possible kidnapping.
  And there is a sex tape floating around in there too.

  Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo... The only thing not to like about the National Lampoon movies is the fact the the daughter gets older and the son gets younger in each subsequent film.
