The director of this is the guy who created Greg the Bunny, and I remember at least one running joke in that being, in a nutshell, "POLITICAL CORRECTNESS :argh:". This is probably going to be absurdly loving offensive.

I'm with you. Helms was decent on The Daily Show as the second-rate Colbert, and early on in The Office when he was a three-note side character, but then they moved him onto the show full-time and even tried to make him a figurehead and it just did not work for me at all. His "clueless preppy beta male" schtick is very very worn out to me.

The rule is never mention or show the audience a movie they'd rather be watching. Why watch an 'updated' movie when you can see the original? Though admittedly I'm not confident that the original vacation movie would still stand up.

That actually looks pretty good. Personally I think that "visionary" directors like the Wachowski Bros. or Shamalan do better with smaller budgets and more constraints.

ASK ME ABOUT BEING ALLERGIC TO POSITIVITY

That Vacation trailer was mainly just inoffensive rubbish but I hated the joke at the end. It feels very hateful and petty. In the original it was the married family man who crashed his car, harmlessly, because he was checking out a girl as cosmic karma. In this, it's the young, attractive, presumably single girl who dies a horribly violent death because she has the nerve to check out a guy.

It just feels very mean. I had the same problem with the Pitch Perfect 2 trailer.

I mean it seems more that the idea is that instead of him suffering immediate karmic results for unfaithfulness, the whole universe is absurdly opposed to him. The woman isn't a character so much as another chance for God or whatever to twist the knife. It's still not funny though, so, eh.

Don't worry, I'm sure the SMG posse will be here momentarily to ruin the thread with a 10 page derail about some crazy bullshit theory about how the director is trying to comment on mankind's eventual replacement by artificial intelligence because the model of the car represents the theorem that god is dead and

Here's a trailer for a film my friend produced. I know nothing about it other than the lead actress showed her lady bits in a movie about topless female boxers called Punch.

It's not that I don't see your logic here, although part of me wishes I didn't. The joke is in-line with the meta commentary of remaking Vacation that they mention earlier in the trailer.

"Oh hey you remember the super iconic bit with the hot girl and the red car from the first one? Don't worry we're not going to retread that old joke this is a good remake like Jump Street please love us we've been watching Jump Street twenty-one to twenty-two times a week to prepare for this.

I'm guessing that the three of them felt making a short film in the guise of a trailer was the best idea.

But seriously, I feel like I just watched a sanded-down version of Rachel Getting Married. This screams "we made a safe version of that for the boomers! Check it out! Your kids hate you but imagine if you can get them back! Also Meryl Streep basically being Stevie Nicks, guys! C'mon!"
