AAA can't help the roadside emergency that is the JOHNSON FAMILY VACATION. Even the onboard navigation system has a meltdown on Nate Johnson (Cedric The Entertainer) and his family's cross-country trek to their annual family reunion/grudge match. Reluctantly along for the ride are Nate's wife (Williams), who's only in it for the kids; their rapper-wannabe son (Bow Wow); their teenage daughter (Solange Knowles) who's fashioned herself as the next Lolita; and their youngest (Gabby Soleil), whose imaginary dog Nate just can't seem to keep track of. Can the Johnsons survive each other and all the obstacles the road throws at them to make it to Caruthersville, Missouri? Can they find Missouri?

If you're looking for a few laughs, find something else.
Not a black comedy but an American black comedy - a lot of jokes relevant to black american culture, not my cup of tea.

In its seventh week in cinemas, the $30 million flick took more than $17 million (£9.3 million), raising its total box office receipts to $355 million. Last week's number one, writer/director...
