Ultimately "Vacation" 2015 is an unknowing spoof, aping a series of - rightfully or not - beloved films without understanding at all what made them tick.

This road trip isn't as bad as you might have heard, but it's not a journey I can honestly recommend taking.

The writers have decided that the more dirty words you stuff in an 8-year-old's mouth, the funnier he becomes. Even before the family leaves Chicago, the audience longs for them to visit a bar-soap factory and feed Junior a few samples.

Wacky hijinks ensue, some of them very funny, some dipping desperately into bad taste, some just falling flat. (Which, it's worth remembering, was the case with even the best films of this franchise.)

Vacation is definitely not the smartest of films and unlike the original, people will soon forget about its very existence.

It's as if Daley and Goldstein started with a list of disgusting topics - outré sex acts, human waste, pubic hair, projectile vomiting, cow cannibalism, et al. - and constructed a narrative around them.

It's a good indication of what to expect: a crass comedy that unfortunately fails to capture the charm of the original film.

I'm all for bawdy, politically incorrect, wildly inappropriate humor -- when there are consistent and genuine laughs to be mined from the material.

Helms' Griswold is a dangerous, moronic maniac, and the filmmakers' disdain for him rubs off on the audience.

It holds on to the original's acrid cynicism for the first 40 minutes or so before turning predictable and bland. There are some real, nasty laughs to be had here, but they're front-loaded.

There's so much dead air in the film that I wondered whether punchlines had been cleaved out to secure a PG-13 rating, but no: it's a hard, inexplicable R.

You can't do much worse at the movies than Vacation.
