A family road trip done the Griswold way: disaster meets hilarity. Just like asking for directions without GPS.

Hollywood Reporter

This delirious, entertaining excursion has been trip-ticked by National Lampoon writer John Hughes. He’s penned a four-star entertainment, the kind of thing that even the grumpiest back-seater would agree was worth the visit.

Common Sense Media

Expect lots of profanity, including a tirade filled with 'f--k,' plus insults like 'retard' and 'fat ass.' There's brief female nudity, sexual innuendo, tween boys looking at pornographic magazines, and a man repeatedly fantasizing about a woman who isn't his wife.
