Really good movie, but I didn't appreciate it until the second watch.


I love this movie. It's way hilarious and it is a clean comedy. Those are very hard to come by these days. It's not just a clean, family comedy. It's really a hilarious movie.

But the first time I watched it I couldn't get past some of the cheesiness of it. Also the plot about how he was going to make everything work got stuck in my head and I ignored some of the comedy. Most of all, I think some of the jokes are better the second time around.

For example, when I first watched the dump the crap scene, I was waiting for him to get covered in crap. He did get covered in crap and I didn't find that particularly funny. However, I really liked it how one person sees what is happening and then another. Then after a while five or six people are standing around watching him. Then somebody offers to bring tortilla chips and food. Before you know it people are all lined up, sitting in folding chairs, watching Robin Williams empty his crap. The words that people say in that scene are hilarious.

I found that some of the punch lines of the movie are not funny. (Crap spraying on him, the RV getting stuck on a mountain, etc.) But some of the surrounding comments to those scenes are hilarious. I got those secondary, non punch line scenes better the second time I watched it.

And that's all I have to say about that.

I'm the same.... I think I expected something different the first time round. I put it on the other day and me and my daughter really enjoyed this silly fun film x

Saw it for the third (or fourth) time today and my wife and I laughed as much as ever. This is a really funny film and I disagree with anyone saying it isn't nearly as good as Vacation. That film was somewhat funny but highly overrated.

Oh well, at least we get to enjoy it whenever we like.
