Well, this movie actually turned out to be a surprise. Yeah, initially I hadn't really expected much from it, as it was a comedy with John Cena in one of the leading roles. But I opted to watch the movie, and give it a fair chance.
Turns out that writers Tom Mullen, Tim Mullen and Clay Tarver actually managed to compile a story that was rather enjoyable. It was a solid mix of storytelling, character development and good old laughs. So yeah, "Vacation Friends" proved to be a rather wholesome and entertaining movie.
"Vacation Friends" is a feel-good comedy that is laced with some genuinely funny moments that supplement the storyline quite well.
The movie does have a good ensemble of casted actors and actresses. And I have to admit that John Cena does actually carry the movie quite well with his performance here, proving that he is more than just the generic action movie buff. I am not familiar with Lil Rel Howery, Yvonne Orji or Meredith Hagner, but they definitely were nicely cast and put on good performances. And the on-screen chemistry between John Cena and Lil Rel Howery was just brilliant.
I was genuinely entertained by director Clay Tarv's 2021 comedy, and it is a movie that I can warmly recommend you sit down to watch if you're in for an evening of good old fashioned comedy.
My rating of "Vacation Friends" lands on a six out of ten stars.
