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.

This is a comedy that knows its limits. Doesn't reach for grotesque when irony is enough, doesn't ask the audience to take things too seriously.
Worth watching for a good mood and a couple of genuinely funny moments. Doesn't promise depth — but doesn't pretend to have it either.
Good for watching with people who need to unwind after a long day. Not for those seeking depth.
Director: Howard Deutch
