Runtime:97 minutes
Plots:
Buckle up for the wildest road trip of the year. A comedy adventure about a misfit family trying to survive outrageous obstacles, including one another, on a cross-country trek to their annual family reunion.
AAA can’t help the roadside emergency that is the “Johnson Family Vacation.” Even the on-board navigation system has a meltdown on Nate Johnson and his family’s cross-country trek to their annual family reunion/grudge match. Reluctantly along for the ride are Nate’s wife, who’s only in it for the kids; their rapper-wannabe son; their teenage daughter who’s fashioned herself as the next Lolita; and their youngest, whose imaginary dog is a real irritant to Nate. Can the Johnsons survive one another and all the obstacles the road throws at them to make it to Caruthersville, Missouri? Can they find Missouri?
