Vacation
What could go wrong?
Directed by John Francis Daley, Jonathan Goldstein
Produced by BenderSpink, David Dobkin Productions
A lighthearted family road-trip comedy built on mishaps and dysfunction, anchored by nostalgia and the desire to reconnect across generations.
Hoping to bring his family closer together and to recreate his childhood vacation for his own kids, a grown up Rusty Griswold takes his wife and their two sons on a cross-country road trip to the coolest theme park in America, Walley World. Needless to say, things don't go quite as planned.
