About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a silly, sentimental road-trip comedy with raunchy humor and lots of cameos; Not for you if vulgar jokes or an unrealistic premise quickly wear you out, like in Get a Job.
Pros: quirky supporting characters; road-trip energy; sweet family message | Cons: crude sex talk; jokes often miss; story feels contrived
