Roy and Candy and Lonnie Earl and Darlene are two married couples who thought they knew one another, until they decided to take their dream vacation together. Hitting the road in a brand-new SUV, they're having the time of their lives until something funny happens on the way to the monster truck show in Reno. Turns out Lonnie Earl has a thing for Candy, and when evidence of this starts to surface, things really start to heat up.

Top review

Very believable characters:

I really enjoyed this movie, until the very end. Everything that they did in the movie was believable and 'real'. I thought that the overall "lesson" of the movie was one to be acknowledged.

The characters were painted as colorful, and comical people that had their problems but tried hard to not loose sight of what was really important. I think it was worth the view. To me, it was 'classic'.
