Somehow Ellen (Bevery D'Angelo), the mom, gets kidnapped by gangsters, leading to a car chase that reunites the family, despite their differences. It's hard to believe that <I>National Lampoon's European Vacation</I> is only the second of the <I>Vacation</I> movies; it has the exhausted pallor of the last of a long series of sequels, drained of all zest or original ideas. The charmless smirk of Chevy Chase, mechanical in its idiocy, hangs over <I>European Vacation</I> like a death mask. It's hard to believe that this hack was once the funny and sexy hero of <I>Foul Play</I>. D'Angelo keeps her chin up and gives the movie whatever class it may have; she deserves better. <I>--Bret Fetzer</I> Reader Reviews It's not as good as the first Vacation, but if you like Chevy Chase, you won't be disappointed. It is typical situations for Chevy. You will see it coming, but you will laugh anyway.
