Surprised at fellas who are complaining about John Cena's acting. The movie is funny and moved at a nice pace. The jokes are not very crude n ther is zero nudity.

Marcus (Lil Rel Howery) proposes to Emily (Yvonne Orji) while on vacation in Mexico. Through a mishap, they end up sharing a suit with Ron (John Cena) and Kyla (Meredith Hagner) who are polar opposites and completely off the chain. They force Marcus and Emily to loosen up and have fun. Marcus and Emily decide to get married for real in an upscale Atlanta setting. Ron and Kyla crash the wedding and things become wild.

The film uses a common comedy genre plot. Good characters. Decent comedy script. Enjoyable.

Guide: F-word. Brief sex. John Cena butt nudity.

Well, this movie actually turned out to be a surprise. Yeah, initially I hadn't really expected much from it, as it was a comedy with John Cena in one of the leading roles. But I opted to watch the movie, and give it a fair chance.

Turns out that writers Tom Mullen, Tim Mullen and Clay Tarver actually managed to compile a story that was rather enjoyable. It was a solid mix of storytelling, character development and good old laughs. So yeah, "Vacation Friends" proved to be a rather wholesome and entertaining movie.

"Vacation Friends" is a feel-good comedy that is laced with some genuinely funny moments that supplement the storyline quite well.

The movie does have a good ensemble of casted actors and actresses. And I have to admit that John Cena does actually carry the movie quite well with his performance here, proving that he is more than just the generic action movie buff. I am not familiar with Lil Rel Howery, Yvonne Orji or Meredith Hagner, but they definitely were nicely cast and put on good performances. And the on-screen chemistry between John Cena and Lil Rel Howery was just brilliant.

I was genuinely entertained by director Clay Tarv's 2021 comedy, and it is a movie that I can warmly recommend you sit down to watch if you're in for an evening of good old fashioned comedy.

My rating of "Vacation Friends" lands on a six out of ten stars.
