It's vacation time for outdoorsy Chicago man Chet Ripley, along with his wife, Connie, and their two kids, Buck and Ben. But a serene weekend of fishing at a Wisconsin lakeside cabin gets crashed by Connie's obnoxious brother-in-law, Roman Craig, his wife, Kate, and the couple's two daughters. As the excursion wears on, the Ripleys find themselves at odds with the stuffy Craig family.

Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic
Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Celia A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
