Vegas Vacation

Actors:  Chevy Chase, Beverly D'Angelo, Randy Quaid, Ethan Embry, Marisol Nichols as
Rating: 6 out of 10, The worst of the bunch by far because Chase always managed to make Clark somewhat likable if extremely flawed. Here he’s just an A-hole undeserving of his family. The kids make a comeback and Cousin Eddie re-appears which is always welcome. Wayne Newton’s pursuit of Ellen doesn’t play well although D’Angelo still had “it” at this point. The best plot line has Ethan Embry as Rusty mirroring Chase’s futility at gambling with his own success. Time to send Chase out of pasture – he’s just not that funny and the material was too main stream, losing the edge of the earlier efforts.

MVP:  Embry as the very lucky Rusty
