This man owns a two story home in the Chicago suburbs with an attic and a basement. The conflict of the story is how he won't be able to add a pool to this palace. He lusts after some random girl at the mall when Beverly DiAngelo is right there.

I will never relate to this man.

He invited everyone and left his wife to do all the work while he toiled away on his vanity projects! I really sympathized with her.

He was chasing status no matter what, something that is a common thread throughout most of the Vacation movies. Him hosting for Christmas is part of that status chasing.

also in that movie, the joke is that his neighbors are yuppies or something. So they aren't bothering him or do anything that warrants revving a chainsaw threateningly at them :)

At face value, no. But we've all had those asshole neighbors who can never mind their own business.

Every time we watch this, my husband and I agree that doing the holidays with our families feels exactly like this.

I can't handle any comedy where the punchline is hicks, because the cringe is too real for me. Can't watch Letterkenney either unfortunately. Spent too long growing up around those people to see them as funny rather than hateful

If you can't distinguish between racist trash rednecks and hicks or other country folks... You haven't been around them enough. Letter Kenny is to duck dynasty as judge Judy is to dog the bounty hunter.

I spent the first 24 years of my life living in rural northern Michigan, where they have more Confederate flags than the Confederacy did.

Oh man, one of Ryan Reynolds best roles. Also starring a very young Aaron Paul aka Jesse Pinkman.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I didn't know that! I guess now I have to watch the movie again. What a shame.

That movie is also how I discovered Jimmy Eat World, Ryan Reynolds, Ryan Reynolds' ass, and - as I was just entering manhood at the time - quite a lot of other things.

I miss the casual nudity in movies. Not that I want to movies to be overloaded with but when it's appropriate. Just have it because it's just part of normal life and often funny.

Blood and gore is okay but the world ends when you show a tit on screen.

Speaking of, I think my world started with seeing a casual Beverly D'Angelo tiddie in one of the National Lampoon vacation movies.

Summer Vacation to be exact.

Back in the day before the internet, it was a nice gentle way to discover as a young person the other sex and get curious about more.

Now you open your phone and get dragged in to a cesspool that your young mind isn't ready for.

a cesspool that your young mind isn’t ready for.

You can't say that and not share a link.
