2021 · Movie · PG-13 · 107 min · ★ 6.0 · 72% critics
Two lifelong friends leave their small Midwestern town for their first big vacation in sunny Florida, expecting relaxation and a little reinvention. Instead, their chatty bond and openhearted optimism pull them into a wildly silly mix of romance, musical detours, and an over-the-top scheme that turns their getaway into an unexpected adventure.

About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a gleefully absurd, chatty buddy-comedy with surreal gags, songs, and a big-hearted friendship vibe, somewhat in the orbit of Bridesmaids; Not for you if you hate goofy, nonstop silliness or rambling jokes.
Pros: weird, nonstop gags; warm friendship core; playful musical moments | Cons: humor can irritate; overstuffed later plot; jokes run long
