About National Lampoon's European Vacation
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.
Directed by Amy Heckerling, National Lampoon's European Vacation leans on a strong ensemble — Chevy Chase, Beverly D'Angelo, Dana Hill — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about adventure titles of 1985.
