"Is that a Slavic name?"



Hands down my favorite comedy. Ever. The perfect little cul-de-sac: a fat, annoying conspiracy theorist, an over-the-top Vietnam Vet caricature (complete with trophy wife), the charming, slacker teen (Corey Feldman), the common sensible wife (Carrie Fisher), and the Average Joe suburbanite-cum-Hero (Tom Hanks) who just wants to enjoy his vacation. Right up until the very end, you have no idea whether the Klopeks are totally evil or if the suburbanites are just overzealous nutjobs. A brilliant story complemented by great casting.
