Vacation Review

Oh lordy was the opening sequence of Vacation dire. It was the sort of comedic misfire that filled my stomach with the sort of dread that kids feel when they've been sent to the principals office. The purpose of this opening was to introduce the personality of Rusty Griswold (Ed Helms) in the confines of his airplane pilot job. While talking to a couple and their kid, some unexpected turbulence sends Rustys hands....straight onto the mothers breasts! Oh Rusty! You unintentional scamp! It was such a hokey sequence executed with negative amounts of flair that it left me wallowing in despair that the rest of the movie would be at this level of ineptitude.

Will Audiences Choose An Impossible Mission Or A Wacky Vacation?

Two more releases enter the box office fray, looking to close this years July on a high note. The most high profile of those two releases is easily Mission: Impossible- Rogue Nation, the fifth entry in the 19 year old Mission: Impossible saga. Back in December 2011, the fourth Mission: Impossible feature became the second biggest entry in the entire franchise, taking everyone by surprise by grossing $209 million domestically.
