Luckily for me, the trip to The Beverly Hilton wasn’t as eventful as the vacations that the Griswolds usually take.

I was there to seat down with the protagonists of the New Line Cinema movie VACATION, the hilarious Christina Applegate (Debbie Griswold) and Ed Helms (Rusty Griswold).

The R-rated comedy, written and directed by John Francis Daley and Jonathan M. Goldstein, also features in its cast Chris Hemsworth, Leslie Mann, Beverly D’Angelo, Chevy Chase, Charlie Day, Michael Peña, and Keegan-Michael Key.

VACATION arrives to theaters nationwide on July 29.

Hoping to bring his family closer together and to recreate his childhood vacation for his own kids, a grown up Rusty Griswold takes his wife and their two sons on a cross-country road trip to the coolest theme park in America, Walley World. Needless to say, things don’t go quite as planned.
