Vacation

I read alot of bad reviews for Vacation so I wasn't expecting to like it at all.It was a funny movie until the scene where Rusty is driving & starts flirting with the lady driving the sports car next to him.She veers onto oncoming traffic & gets smashed by a truck.Rusty looks in his rear view mirror & you see a big ball of smoke.Could somebody explain to me how this is funny?!

The new 'Vacation' (rebooted sequel?) doesn't feel like the previous 'Vacation' films. It's not consistent in tone with the series. This is a straight up R-rated ridiculous gross-out comedy. It resembles something like 'We're the Millers'. A typical family road trip premise becomes an excuse to string together a series of vignettes, which include: bodily fluids and excrement, heavy sexual dialogue, cursing children, harsh violence, and some off-putting remarks towards pedophilia and rape. And yet, I still managed to get some shock value type laughs out of that concoction. That's the main positive saving this all-too-wornout formula from being any less than average. It's not mean, or cynical. The family, despite having little character, work well as a unit. I found myself …
