Vacation Friends

An incredible romp that is not far from a full score! Bugger me! Comedy of the year, perhaps. Vacation Friends seemed very low-key, but it won me over from the opening minutes. John Cena is awesome here, he was having an incredible time the whole movie and delivers one-liners as if his life depended on it. (I don't know anyone who smuggles drugs into Mexico!) The script is brilliant, there are great comic scenes, amazing lines. The scene with the sponges is legendary, several times I rolled on the floor with an unstoppable fit of laughter! The Americans shocked me, this humour really suited me and this is a comedy I will definitely watch more times. Meredith Hagner is rocking it here too. Crazy couple as they should be. 8.5/10.

After watching Free Guy, I got hooked on Lil Rel Howery, and Disney+ suggested this movie right after. Spotting John Cena in the cast sealed the deal for me, knowing he can bring the crazy. I didn’t hesitate, and it totally paid off. This is a fantastic comedy — wild, hilarious, with some genuinely laugh-out-loud moments. The mushroom scene is up there with the one from Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny. John Cena has really hit his stride in these comedic roles, and I’m glad to see him shine in this genre.
