United States | Chicago Tribune | "Too many scenes in 'European Vacation' peter out about a gag or two short for the film to be as funny as it ought to be. But the basic amiability of the humor is as pleasant as it is surprising" | POS |
United States | The Washington Post | "Heckerling directs this mess with no sense of pace and less sense of where to put the camera." | NEG |
United States | TV Guide | "Lighthearted fun, pretty scenery, lots of chuckles, a few guffaws, and a lilting score by Charles Fox all contribute to making this movie a pleasant surprise" | POS |
United States | Miami Herald | "Chase and D'Angelo are clever and naturally funny, and they're well-matched. And yet the movie is dumb, so dumb it must have taken some work to make it that way" | NEU |
United States | Variety | "Story [by John Hughes] of a frenetic, chaotic tour of the Old World, with Chevy Chase and Beverly D’Angelo reprising their roles as determined vacationers, is graceless" | NEU |
