I rate this movie a 6, the movie was funny, off the wall, typical of the "Vacation" movies,had some good flash backs from the first movie, laughed a lot, Chevy Chase was his typical self dropping things and doing funny bits, all the character's played their parts well,and the rental car was hilarious, but I don't see what is so funny about the the words f**k and motherf**k in a movie like this, even the the opening and closing song was stupid and uncalled for, the f word was used more then they used their names. Why do the movie makers think this draws people to watch movies, it turns me off to hear this all the way through a movie. I am not a prude, have heard it before, just not necessary every other word.
WAKE UP Hollywood IT DOES NOT HAVE TO HAVE THE F WORD IN EVERY MOVIE.
