how much it moved you
Two separate readings, not parts of the score β the score says how much of it held you, these say what kind of watch it was.
Nobody has rated this on FlickFeel yet. This is public discussion of this title, read into a curve. It is not a rating and it never becomes one.
Read from 218 comments (168 from Reddit, 47 from Metacritic, 3 from TMDB reviews) β 28 of them described how it moves.
β steady β Holds one level all the way. Pulled both ways throughout β never simply one thing. In the first half it was tender and painful at the same time, which is the state people mean by being moved. Marked above the line: 3 that got a real laugh.

Published reviews, not felt experience β a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
It plays better than it reviews β the watch lands harder than the write-ups suggest.
βVacation is lazy, idiotic, and gross β and I laughed my ass off at it.β
Bilge Ebiri, New York Magazine (Vulture) Β· 80
βVacation is consistently funny from beginning to end, a piling on of dumb but inventive jokes and excruciating, awkward situations.β
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle Β· 75
βEd Helms, a Hangover veteran, is a perfect choice to take over the reins from Chase.β
James Berardinelli, ReelViews Β· 75
βStrengthening of brotherly and marital bonds is the real agenda, of course, but happily the movie never stays on these laugh-killing themes long.β
Neil Genzlinger, The New York Times Β· 70
βWhatβs missing is the pent-up anger that simmered behind Chevy Chaseβs doofus grin. His Clark was always on the verge of a nuclear-family meltdown. Helms lacks Chaseβs passive-aggressive edginess.β

Grouped by where it was written, because a considered review and a reaction typed an hour after the credits are different things. Every quote links to its source.
