John Cena, Lil Rel Howery, Meredith Hagner, and Yvonne Orji in Vacation Friends (2021)

In this raw and raunchy comedy, straight-laced Marcus and Emily (Howery, Orji) are befriended by wild, thrill-seeking partiers Ron and Kyla (Cena, Hagner) at a resort in Mexico. Living in the moment, the usually level-headed couple lets loose to enjoy a week of uninhibited fun and debauchery with their new "vacation friends." Months after their walk on the wild side, Marcus and Emily are horrified when Ron and Kyla show up uninvited at their wedding, creating chaos and proving that what happens on vacation, doesn't necessarily stay on vacation.

Trivia
The movie was announced for the first time in 2005 with Nicolas Cage and Will Smith in the lead roles; when it was delayed several times, both stars dropped out.

Goofs
After Marcus and Emily say goodbye to Ron and Kyla at the airport and walk away, in the background a woman in a red hat gets up from her chair and walks to the left behind them (1:10:50). Three seconds later, the same woman does the same thing (1:10:47).

Quotes
Ron: I watched so many guys wear themselves out, swimming against the rip-tide, swimming as hard as they could. They had to be extracted. Me? I found out the trick was... just float.

I laughed much more than I was expecting.

For some reason when I saw John Cena's name appearing I wasn't too excited about watching this movie. Wrestling characters are to me, fake and very annoying to watch but I have to give it to him as I thought he was very funny as an actor. As was the rest of the cast in Vacation Friends. I laughed a lot with this comedy and I wasn't even baked so maybe the next time I'll rewatch this little gem I will get stoned first to have the ultimate experience. The story is simple, easy to follow, and has some really good moments of comedy. Maybe it's not for everyone but that's always the case with comedies as everybody has a different taste of humor. In my case, Vacation Friends is just the right kind of humor that I needed and enjoyed.
