The Great Outdoors
“This is no holiday… this is war!”
Comedy
It's vacation time for outdoorsy Chicago man Chet Ripley, along with his wife, Connie, and their two kids, Buck and Ben. But a serene weekend of fishing at a Wisconsin lakeside cabin gets crashed by Connie's obnoxious brother-in-law, Roman Craig, his wife, Kate, and the couple's two daughters. As the excursion wears on, the Ripleys find themselves at odds with the stuffy Craig family.
VIBE
This is a boisterous, feel-good romp through a classic 80s family vacation gone hilariously awry. Expect a steady stream of comedic clashes between two very different families, set against a charmingly rustic backdrop. It's all about the chaotic joy of forced family fun and the enduring appeal of slapstick.
