I liked that the writers went the official way and straight-up refer to the original Griswold family. We even got to see Beverly D'Angelo and Chevy Chase at the end, which has made me very happy. But those might be the biggest upsides, because apart from that, the movie is pretty boring. The first half is only funny because the ugliest car ever – Honda Tartan Prancer – makes an appearance. And they milk it as much as possible. As soon as the second half comes, the comedy starts to decline. It’s not like it’s not there at all, it just doesn’t have what it takes for me to say: “well done”. (20/05/2018)

Um filme agressivamente desagradável, com um enredo pouco imaginativo e mal-feito, piadas falhadas e universalmente embaraçosas, atores mal guiados e miseravelmente representados, e muita vulgaridade e nojo desnecessariamente exagerado e pretensioso. A história é totalmente absurda e incoerente, e decompõe-se numa confusão de cenas não relacionadas, nas quais os personagens desesperadamente antipáticos se comportam como loucos incompetentes, apenas para acabarem cobertos de excrementos, vómitos ou tripas de vaca. O equivalente ao inferno de comédia. (26/08/2015)

I watched the movie for a while without laughing once, and just when I was about to start watching something else, Christina Applegate really got going and she kept me entertained till the end. All three stars go to Christina. If she hadn't given such a great performance, there wouldn’t be anything worth rating. (01/08/2016)

No, this comedy didn't completely win me over, but I have to say that considering American comedies are mostly dumb, this one actually has some genuinely funny moments. There's plenty of cringeworthy stuff here, but the bullying of the older brother is just perfect. Chevy Chase is tragic, which is a shame, but otherwise I had a lot of fun. (20/10/2015)
