AdventureComedy

The Griswolds win a vacation to Europe on a game show, and so pack their bags for the continent. They do their best to catch the flavor of Europe, but they just don't know how to be be good tourists. Besides, they have trouble taking holidays in countries where they CAN speak the language.

VIBE

Prepare for a relentless, good-natured assault of slapstick and cultural misunderstandings. This film feels like a whirlwind of increasingly absurd mishaps, delivering a constant stream of broad humor as a well-meaning family navigates the bewildering landscape of foreign travel. It's a cheerfully chaotic, laugh-out-loud journey.
