So what was the point?
14 April 2004
This movie was absolutely horrible. It was really two movies into one. One movie was about the road trip, the second movie was about the family reunion that they drove 3 days for to stay 4 hours. Why not just catch a plane?

This movie is a bad rip off of National Lampoon's Vacation movies. It was hard to except Ced the Entertaniner as a well-to-do business man in Los Angeles. And it was even tougher to imagine Vanessa Williams as his wife. Go figure.

The movie does have some funny parts to it. But the plot is really stupid and it just does not flow very well.

I know that I will get backlash from my own community, blacks, for calling this "family" movie bad. But just because it is a clean black movie doesn't make it a good one.

Ced was held back so much in this movie. The way he chose to play that character was that of white guy. This movie basically says that all black men who get rich must talk white. Go figure!

And what was up with Steve Harvey's sadistic character. I beleive that he was suppose to be comic relief, but his character was underdeveloped. You really don't care about the rivlary that he and his brother Ced had. This movie had the potential to be good, but sadly they didn't optimize on it.

This is a horrible movie. Wait for the DVD.
