Vacation Friends (2021) is a movie my wife and I watched on Hulu. The storyline follows a conservative couple who run into an over the top party animals couple that are hardcore into drugs, alcohol and the eccentric. Due to a series of unfortunate circumstances they have to be together for vacation and have the most amazing time but the conservative couple wants to lose touch with them forever and forget they ever met. When the conservative couple start planning their wedding activities their party animal vacation friends arrive and threaten to ruin the entire event...or make it more fun than they could ever imagine. This movie is directed by Clay Tarver (Silicon Valley) and stars Lil Rel Howery (Get Out), Yvonne Orji (Insecure), John Cena (Trainwreck), Meredith Hagner (Hits) and Lynn Whitfield (Eves Bayou). The storyline for this is absolutely crazy, random and unpredictable. The comedic content goes back and forth from hilarious to awkward but definitely has a nice amount of laugh out loud moments. The cast is perfectly selected and really make the comedic content work. Overall this is a nice addition to the comedy genre that's entertaining but a step below the Hangovers of the world. I'd score this a 6.5-7/10 and recommend seeing it once.
