Product Description BUCKLE UP FOR THE WILDEST ROAD TRIP OF THE YEAR! A HILARIOUS COMEDY ADVENTURE ABOUT A MISFIT FAMILY TRYING TO SURVIVE OUTRAGEOUS OBSTACLES (INCLUDING EACH OTHER) ON A CROSS COUNTRY TREK TO THEIR ANNUAL FAMILY REUNION.
Amazon.com Cedric the Entertainer (Barbershop, Intolerable Cruelty) lends his stubborn, skeptical charm to Johnson Family Vacation. Though separated from his wife (Vanessa Williams, Soul Food, Shaft), Nate Johnson (Cedric) pulls his family together so that they can compete for an award at the Johnson family reunion. Of course, the road trip from California to Missouri--featuring a sexy but crazy hitchhiker, motel high jinks, and an afternoon in jail--threatens to split up the family permanently. The humor of Johnson Family Vacation is rambling and ridiculous--for example, Williams fools Cedric into taking his swim trunks off in a motel hot tub, then leaves him to tiptoe through the motel naked. But Cedric and Williams both have undeniable charisma; together, they carry this shaggy dog of a movie through its more lackadaisacal moments. Also featuring Bow Wow, Solange Knowles, Shannon Elizabeth (American Pie), and Steve Harvey (Love Don't Cost a Thing). --Bret Fetzer

Glad I found it January 26, 2009 J. Paul (Athens, GA) Above this being a very funny and family-friendly movie... Amazon.com was the only place I could locate a copy to purchase. None of my local stores stocked this movie so I bought it here. I enjoyed the movie greatly and would recommend it to anyone.
Very Satisfying June 11, 2008 Morgan (Minnesota) Johnson Family Vacation is a wonderful family movie and is very humorus, sometimes in not the best ways. It has a great plot and it has its quirks like any other movie, I would recommend it, especially if you're a fan of Cedric the Entertainer { who plays 2 parts in the movie } 4 out of 5 stars.
Sub-par road trip movie December 9, 2007 Hinkle Goldfarb (R.R. 1 Highway 162, Butte City, California) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
At their best, road trip movies can be transformative adventures (e.g., "Y Tu Mama Tambien"; "Midnight Run"). At their worst, they can just be unfocused, meandering wastes of time. Unfortunately, this movie tended toward the latter. Instead of transformation we get one-liners and sight gags, and not even enough of those. Also this movie wasted of fine acting talent, especially, of all people, Shari Headley, whom I fell in love with in the classic "Coming to America," but is relegated to a bit part here. Come back Shari!
Johnson Family Vacation January 13, 2007 funny stuff (Winchester, VA) Cedric is excellent along with the rest of the cast. Better laughs than a Chevy Chase run.
GREAT MOVIE October 18, 2006 christina (st kitts) 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I THINK JOHNSON FAMILY VACATION WAS A VERY HILARIOUS MOVIE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE MAJORITY OF ALL THE BAD REVIEWS I HAD READ. MY GUESS IS THEY DON'T LIKE AN AFRICAN AMERICAN VERSION OF THE SO CALLED CLASSIC CHEVY CHASE MOVIE. THIS MOVIE WAS SO FUNNY ! I LOVED THE PART WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PIMPED OUT AND WHEN NATE AND HIS SON D.J. HAD IT OUT ABOUT THE CDS AND THREW THE CDS OUT OF THE WINDOW. THE MOVIE BECAME MORE AND MORE FUNNY WHEN THE FAMILY WERE AT FUN WORLD AND NATE RAN INTO THE CHEF MAKING DESTINY'S BIRTHDAY CAKE HAHAHAHAHA. I ESPECIALLY LOVED STEVE HARVEY WHEN HE CONSTANTLY TAUNTED HIS BROTHER. THIS WAS A GREAT MOVIE I RECOMMEND IT IF U R HAVING A BAD DAY OR JUST WANT SOMETHING FUNNY TO WATCH.
