I hate people out of jealousy who hit a jackpot at a slot machine after only their first fews spins when yet they never even played slots before.
Papa Gorgio (Russ Griswold) is this movie wins at least 2 major jackpots at 2 different slot machines on the very first spin! (I mean crap man, now there’s a guy that I REALLY hate out of jealousy!)
I am so jealous of those lucky [lady] and SOBs that do it on their very first few spins because I’ve played those damn machines every month for over a year and a half. I’ve done over 70,000 unsuccessful spins and have lost quite a bit of money over these many months at those damn machines.. I’ve still never hit a jackpot.
I really wish I could buy one of those damn slot machines from a US casino like say ‘Wild Cherry’ or the ‘Red, White, and Blue’ machine and smash it to pieces with my slegehammer the same way I smashed that ‘Slots with Video Poker’ VHS. That’s how much I hate slot machines and those damn, lucky jackpot winners who do it on their first few spins!!
That jackpot that that occasional lucky male or female (…) wins on their VERY FIRST VISIT in that casino in under 100 spins just devistaes me!!! That jackpot should be mine!
Where the hell’s MY jackpot?!?!?!?
I’m WAY OVERDUE for a jackpot!

I liked some parts about this sequel, like the funny scenes with Randy Quaid being Cousin Eddie, the awesome character I’ve always liked, unline the dork he plays in the movie ‘King Pin’.
I loved those scenes where Chevy Chase was at the blackjack table with that smart mouth dealer (Shawn Wallace) as he makes Chevy lose all his money, FUNNY! I loved the part when the dealer suggested that with $5, Clark outta buy a bullet and rent a gun.
Here’s where I give it 2 stars,. The extreme unlikelyhood of all that happens in the city.
1. At the Segfried and Roy show, those legendary performers instantly, just like that, see Clark Griswold and ask him to come on stage. Out of all the many others up close, what’re the odds?
2. Segfried and Roy is only the beginning of me mentioning ‘What are the odds?’ At the Wayne Newton show, Wayne notices Ellen (out of ALL the thousands of other women available) and has her come on stage.
3. That dumb, clueless kid Russ who changes his name to Papa Gorgeo, wins 4 cars at 4 slot machines all on the very first spin??? I mean, there’s extremely lucky bums who I just hate because they win a jackpot on the first spin, but this lucky bum does it on the first spin 4 times in a row??
4. The Griswolds claim a $30,000 winning keno ticket (The odds being about the same as winning the lottery).
5. At the Blackjack table, beating the dealer’s hand offers MUCH better odds than winning a car from one spin at a slot machine. But this movie twists that all around as to what the odds really are. Clark goes through tons of hands and when he finally doesn’t lose, he’s all like “I didn’t lose!” meaning he’s gone through hundreds of hands and has lost at all the others. People go through hundreds and thousands of spins without hitting a jackpot (like me for example), but NOBODY goes through hundreds of losing hands at a blackjack table for at least an hour without ever winning. Nobody’s THAT unlucky at blackjack.
6. Wayne Newton romances Ellen who in the movie is an ordinary woman and mom who’s not famous when Wayne could just go for someone nice and famous, and sexier, like Marisa Tomei, Brooke Shields, some woman who IS famous and rich. Clark informs Wayne that she’s taken and Wayne doesn’t even care later on. A male celebrity who’s a millionare that romances an ordinary woman and says he wants to spend the rest of his life with her along with the other 5 events mentioned above makes the actual likeyhood of all this happening to a family at least one in a zillion!
(THIS MOVIE’S NOT DONE BY COMMON SENSE, BUT RATHER MORE LIKE AN OBVOIUS PLAN TO FOOL PEOPLE THAT ALL THAT STUFF CAN HAPPEN ONLY IN VEGAS, IT’S LIKE SOME OF THE MAKERS OF THIS MOVIE WERE LAS VEGAS HOSTS AND CASINO MANAGERS HOPING ALL THE PEOPLE WHO WATCH IT WILL BE STUPID ENOUGH TO BELIEVE THAT ALL THAT ONE IN A ZILLION STUFF WILL ACTUALLY HAPPEN!)
(Nobody wins 4 cars in a row on the first spin at 4 different machines. As far as odds go, that’s just simply impossible and cannot be done.)
((This movie was way too far-fetched!))
WHAT ARE THE ODDS?? PRODUCERS, WHAT IN GOD’S NAME WERE YOU THINKING?? DON”T TEASE PEOPLE LIKE ME WHO’VE DONE OVER 20,000 SPINS AT A SLOT MACHINE THAT’VE STILL NEVER HIT A JACKPOT!!!
I do have hard feelings towards people who’ve hit a jackpot within their first few hundred spins because I really have done thousands and thousands of spins and’ve still never hit, but that’s beside the point of this review.
This movie was an insult to my intellegence, but again, deserves 2 stars because 1) I like that cousin Eddie guy and 2) That shifty blackjack dealer practically tells that moron Clark to drop dead.
End of review, that’s all I gotta say about that,

I have no idea what anyone who gave this thing 4 or 5 stars was watching. It is so unbelievably bad. So bad that I can’t even fathom that anyone on earth found anything redeemable in this movie. Seriously – someone tell me how this piece of poo could get 4 stars! Can you list some other movies you all gave 4 stars? Operation Dumbo Drop? From Justin to Kelly? Garbage!

THIS MOVIE IS ONE OF THE DUMBEST I’VE SEEN YET. MY SISTER AND I HAVE SEEN IT SO MANY TIMES (IT’S BEEN ON HBO EVERYDAY) THAT WE CAN PUT THE TV ON MUTE AND RECITE THE WORDS. IT IS TORTURE. IF IT COMES ON YOUR TV, PLEASE PUSH POWER, OR YOU’LL SUFFER!
