Johnson Family Vacation (2004, DVD)

Movie Description
JOHNSON FAMILY VACATION is an all-ages comedy that breezily resolves family problems and offers some good clean fun along the way. Closely modeled after National Lampoon's VACATION films, star Cedric the Entertainer puts a modern slant on similar scenes and setups first introduced by comedian Chevy Chase. Both Steve Harvey and Cedric (who have collaborated on numerous projects including THE STEVE HARVEY SHOW and Spike Lee's THE ORIGINAL KINGS OF COMEDY) have successfully revived an old-school, Richard Pryor/Gene Wilder kind of comedy here. There's an amusing prayer scene where Harvey and Cedric try to outdo each other through the word of God. But mostly, this is Cedric's film and it shows in everything he does. Just easing himself into a too-hot hot tub is a winning stand up routine in itself.


The story follows Nate Johnson (Cedric), your basic insurance nerd at odds with his teenage children DJ (rapper Bow Wow) and Nikki (Solange Knowles), and his estranged wife Dorothy (luminous Vanessa Williams). Nate's mission is to road trip from L.A. to the Johnson family reunion in Missouri with a goal to snag the coveted "Family of the Year" trophy and trump Nate's painfully competitive, loudmouth brother (Harvey). A few cases of mistaken identity, a few random opportunities for hilarity (such as a wrestling match with a pet alligator), and a couple of encounters with the law, and the family finally reaches the reunion where they pull together a cool song-and-dance routine and set their sights on the huge trophy.

Editorial Reviews
"It's an easygoing, earthy comedy that's a good showcase for the robust comic gifts of Cedric the Entertainer, abetted by fellow King of Comedy Steve Harvey and by glamorous and witty Vanessa Williams."
Los Angeles Times - Kevin Thomas (04/07/2004)

    I liked the price,it took forever to receive the item. When i received the dvd the case was damaged. The dvd was so badly scratched, only one side would work. I will never order from this person again, so beware buyers you will get damaged goods.

    I love this movie because this gives me another annual masterpieceto watch till Christmas time comes again ,which National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation is becoming a christmas classic for me.And to compare the Johnson family Vacation to the Lampoon's vacation it is split right in the middle one is as good as the other even with different stars but I would not like to be without either one ,just plain old down home fun for each time of the yr. Our family vacation is not the same without playing it and of course our Christmas time would be so drab without it.LOve this and would tell anybody to buy a copy forthemselves.
