September 3, 20223 yr Not only is it a great performance of a great character, but Clark Griswold reminded me a lot of my own dad growing up.
September 3, 20223 yr Chevy's physical comedy always made those movies great for me. Just little things like showing the inside of the sandwich to Christie Brinkley when he's dancing.

Same, but usually in context when I’m lost and have to double-back or something like that. My kids have seen the movie, so they get it.
