It can often be hard to recapture the magic of the laughs you got the first time, but that certainly doesn't mean you can't have a good time again anyway.
From the way European Vacation was talked about it sounded like a draining disappointment, but I thought it was really, really funny. It's the best one next to the original Vacation (Not to say it is that close though, the first is literally perfect). They really go all-out with the satire of different cultures, and manage to shake things up enough that it doesn't feel like nothing more than a rehash. I even liked the casting choice of Dana Hill, I find her performance as Audrey very memorable. Jason Lively as Rusty was also very good. After this the casting of the kids gets a bit more questionable (the decision to cast someone as Rusty in Christmas Vacation who looks far younger than the previous two still baffles me).
Back To The Future II gets some flack for its incredibly complicated plot, that it makes the movie feel more mechanic and less fun than the first one. But I couldn't disagree more. For me the increasingly advanced problems that erupt makes it more fun, and the jokes about the future are hilarious and iconic. Not only do I consider this the best possible way you could do a follow-up, it's my favorite of the trilogy.
