Vacation With Family Doesn’t Always Turn Up As Expected

Rusty Griswold takes his own family on a road trip to “Walley World” in order to spice things up with his wife and reconnect with his sons.

Vacation starring Ed Helms, Christina Applegate, Leslie Mann and Chris Hemsworth is a family comedy directed and written by John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein.

Rusty Griswold, played by Ed, is a miserable pilot for Econo-Air who shares a very dysfunctional relationship with his wife, Debbie (Christina Applegate), and their two sons, the meek and awkward James (Skyler Gisondo) and the vulgar and malicious Kevin (Steele Stebbins).

Envious of his friend Jack (Keegan-Michael Key) and Nancy’s (Regina Hall) vacation in Paris, Rusty decides to nix his family’s annual trip to their cabin in Sheboygan and instead drive cross country to Walley World, just as he did with his parents and sister years ago.
