Well Deserved Praise

Truly Dreadful Film

just watch it!

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

'Johnson Family Vacation' isn't your typical family-going-on-a-vacation type of movie.What it is on the other hand is an hour and a half comedy that didn't disappoint and actually had some laughs.It's really not a bad movie to watch.If you're looking for a clean and wholesome family movie, you'll probably be taking the wrong road if you show this movie to your kids.Expect everything from Cedric the Entertainer being partly nude to some brief sexual dialog and dancing.Teens and adults should be able to take the content and turn it into a fun movie that shouldn't be taken too seriously.So sit back and at least try to watch this movie and enjoy it for what it is.Just one question: Why on Earth would a hitchhiker name her pet alligator Twinkee?

This movie would never hold a candle to the original. I think that this movie was OK, but the casting was HORRIBLE. Bow Wow should not be in movies, he should stick to Singing . . . and Ciara. Cedric and Vannessa did fine in this movie, but I could never believe that they were a real couple. The only thing I really liked about this movie was Solange Knowles. I wanted to see Beyonce or maybe even Jay Z in a movie, but this is the closest I could get. She had about five lines, and they all SUCKED. She gives a shorter performance of what Mariah Carey gave in GLITTER. I would love for her to be nominated for a RAZZIE Award . . . WORST ACTRESS IN A SUPPORTING ROLE!!!!!! Her album SUCKED!!!!!!!!

This movie is simply not good. It wasn't funny and was a very lame attempt to try something similar to National Lampoon's Vacation. There's hi-jinks at the hotel pool, going out to see silly things, etc... In this, the two parents are separated but are going to the husband's family reunion with the 3 kids. Considering they only spend a couple of hours at the reunion, why did they even go? Bow Wow basically uses this role as self-promotion since he raps. And when they get to the reunion, the relatives are dull and dumb, especially uncle earl.I can't believe any of the actors would even let their name appear in the credits. If they weren't already famous, this movie would be career suicide. Even the music is terrible.FINAL VERDICT: A snore fest.

I will not give away most of the story. But maybe the fact that I was raised on the original vacation movies, I had a hard time accepting this as a remake. I do think Cedrick the entertainer and Vanessa Williams did a great job in their roles, but the remake could never hold a candle to the original Vacation or any of the sequels for that matter. (except for Christmas vacation 2).I did find the first part of the movie very entertaining, but I somehow got lost in the sudden change of the story, where the Johnson family Finally makes it to the reunion, and has to turn around and leave. Although, the fact that it was one wrong turn after another, and a story of a family coming together, I must give it some credit for sticking to some of the original "vacation" movie. I would not recommend it to someone who loves the original vacation movies.
