Comedian
Cedric the Entertainer serves as both producer and star of this
comedy about a family who discovers just how much can go wrong en route to a family get-together. When
Nate Johnson (
Cedric the Entertainer) is invited to a big family reunion in Missouri, he sees it as an opportunity to reconnect with his estranged wife and growing children, as well as a chance to show up his wealthier know-it-all brother,
Mack (
Steve Harvey).
Nate takes delivery on an expensive new SUV, persuades his recently separated wife,
Dorothy (
Vanessa L. Williams), to tag along, and packs up his three kids -- nubile teenager
Nikki (
Solange Knowles), under-age wannabe rapper
D.J. (
Bow Wow), and precocious seven-year-old
Destiny (
Gabby Soleil) -- for what he imagines will be a leisurely drive from Los Angeles to St. Louis. However, between his wary wife, arguing kids, angry police officers, bizarre hitchhikers, bad diner food, and an unfortunate run-in with a cement mixer, getting from point A to point B proves to be just short of a nightmare.
Johnson Family Vacation was the first feature film for director
Christopher Erskin, who previously distinguished himself directing music videos for the likes of
Missy Elliot,
TLC, and
Boyz II Men.
