Clark Griswold is so determined to take his family on a roadtrip across America that nothing will stop him, and this hugely funny 1983 comedy throws everything at him - a pubescent and errant son Russell, a lovelorn, overeating daughter, Audrey, a long-suffering but loyal wife, Ellen, mechanical problems, a dead dog, a dead aunt, embarrassing trailer trash relatives - and through it all he drives, growing increasingly frazzled until a hilarious climactic sequence in which he becomes completely unhinged at a Disney-inspired theme park, Walley World.
