An easygoing, earthy comedy that's a good showcase for the robust comic gifts of Cedric the Entertainer.

The movie itself is genial and unfocused and tired.

Hmm.......I don't get the hate for this. It's actually pretty funny, I own it and I'm not ashamed of it. I like it and it's worth a check. Sure, some, I **** the jokes were forced or predictable. I liked it and I think you would if you have nothing to do or just want a good comedy to watch.

The picture shows vital signs only in a few scenes where Cedric takes on the additional role of his own lecherous uncle, but it's too little too late.

Apart from Williams' presence, director Christopher Erskin's feature debut isn't worth the price of submission. It's not a road trip; it's a road trap.

The direction on Johnson Family Vacation is numbingly slack; the synapses between the scenes don't spark effortlessly, as they should, and the whole enterprise feels dragged-down and belabored.

Tired and glib, it tries to milk humor from the sniping, sass and simple disrespect of its unpleasant traveling companions.

The entire enterprise was directed by first-timer Christopher Erskin like a would-be Max Bialystock; one can only assume it's supposed to be this bad, because nobody sucks this hard on accident.
