‘Vegas Vacation’: bust or jackpot?

“Vegas Vacation,” the fourth entry in the National Lampoon’s Vacation series, was released in 1997. The film had a budget of $25 million, earning $36 million in box office revenue. The film has a 13% score on the online aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, based on 30 professional reviews, against a 51% audience score from over 50,000 ratings. While it may not be a cinematic masterpiece like the other entries in the series, I feel that there is plenty to enjoy with this film.
