Vacation Friends

Haven't we seen this before

I feel like Hollywood is running out of ideas. This was the same old story and not as funny as the last one. A well-to-do couple meets a couple with no self awarness on vacation and while I had high hopes, I found nothing funny about this movie. The ridiculousness continues as they return home and are reunited. It was obvious that the movie wanted to cast the Rock and Kevin Hart. And also follow the very popular woke recipe of making white people the look like total buffoons. It's really hard to do a good comedy that reaches a broad audience. This one missed the mark.

Horrible Acting

I have no words to describe how bad this film is. What a waste of talent- John Cena can not act. Bland writing, predictable & mediocre at best comedy.

This movie is worse than the video of Cena groveling to China

Very cringe worthy movie. There's comedies and then there is just plain stupidity. Script was written by a part high school drama class in detention. Be prepared to loose many precious IQ points and any hope that hollywood will ever one day produce another good movie.

Below average movie

The acting is horrible by the lead actors.

Save your time and skip this one.

Below average movie - I would rather watch an old good comedy movie than this one.

Waste of time.

My best friend liked it, thought it was funny, but he was pretty stoned. I didn't see the point.

Worst movie I ever seen

I can't describe how bad this movie is. Stupid story. Worst actors in the world. Nothing is funny at all. How is it possible to make a movie that dumb?

Biggest time waste of my life

Vacation Friends" is quite possibly the most excruciatingly unfunny, painfully awkward, and mind-numbingly pointless 'comedy' ever made. From start to finish, it feels like being trapped in a room with the most obnoxious people on Earth, forced to endure their cringeworthy antics while waiting for a single laugh that never comes. The plot is paper-thin-just an excuse for a series of over-the-top, unfunny set pieces involving bad improv, forced chaos, and zero actual humor. The characters are insufferable caricatures: Lil Rel Howery's straight-man act is wasted, John Cena tries way too hard to be the wacky wildcard, and Meredith Hagner's manic energy is just grating. The script is a dumpster fire of lazy stereotypes, recycled gags, and shock-value nonsense that never lands. Even the chemistry between the leads feels fake, like they all knew they were stuck in a doomed project. The only thing more baffling than this movie's existence is how it got a sequel. If you value your time, sanity, or sense of humor, stay far, far away. 0/10-a cinematic crime against comedy."

More like a horror movie

A horrendous vomit of drugged crew & cast - it's horrifying how this abomination was ever made. But the way most of Hollywood became after this plandemic, it's almost no wonder... Drunk, drugged or idiotic people will like it.

Bad

One of the worst things I've ever seen. I turned it off after 10 minutes because the acting and script was so horrible.

A bit funny at certain point, but overall full of annoying overuse scene! Should have done better!
