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.

      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 had fun
    For a free Hulu comedy with an A list cast, I thoroughly enjoyed myself. No, it will not win any oscars but if you enjoyed "Blockers" this is for you. Make a drink. Sit back and have fun.. that's what movies are for right??
