When I read the synopsis for this film, I was expecting a travel comedy such as the "Vacation" films, "RV", or "Are We There Yet". However, it soon became apparent that the family would never get out of Omaha. It became apparent even quicker that it wasn't really going to be a comedy. Actually, the only interesting thing about the movie was that it all was actually filmed in the Omaha area. I've been to Omaha and it's a nice mid-western city. I really can't say anything nice about the film. It looked like a student film. It had a very low budget and amateurish look to it. The script is what is it's greatest flaw, however. All of the characters are extremely unlikable and the story developments are aimless and of no interest at all. It boggles the mind how, not only that they were able to assemble a well known cast to appear in this, but that the film was even made at all. There are two positive reviews for this movie. One was intended as a joke and the other is obviously a bogus review by one of this film's creators.
