“Whoa, wait!”

From Vacation Friends.

When Marcus (Lil Rel Howery) and his girlfriend, Emily (Yvonne Orji), arrive in Mexico for a vacation filled with relaxing, beautiful beaches, things quickly go awry. When his highly-planned proposal is ruined by the an overfilled jacuzzi in the suite above their own, Marcus and Emily find themselves without a place to stay, and Marcus is forced to propose in the hotel lobby.  When fellow guests Ron (John Cena) and Kyla (Meredith Hagner) witness the lobby proposal, they convince Marcus and Emily to share the giant presidential suite with them so they can stay at the fully-booked resort. Despite their total differences, the cautious Marcus and Emily soon find themselves drinking their way across Mexico and becoming vacation friends with the wildly reckless Ron and Kyla. On the last night of their vacation, Ron convinces Marcus and Emily to get married by a Mayan shaman so they can have wedding surrounded by supportive friends, and after the wedding the four go all out in a drunken celebration. Seven months later, the time for Emily and Marcus’ official wedding has finally arrived and the extravagant event has Marcus at a disadvantage since Emily’s father (Robert Wisdom) and brother (King Bach) openly look down on him. However, all of the elite wedding plans are thrown off when Ron and Kyla crash the rehearsal dinner, fully expecting to take part in the wedding ceremony. Marcus and Emily are desperate to keep their crazy vacation a secret, but despite Emily’s parents’ cold demeanor, they are swept up in Ron and Kyla’s charismatic attitude. When Kyla announces that she’s pregnant and that Marcus is responsible, he’s left wondering what exactly happened during their alcohol-fueled vacation. A mushroom-tainted fox chase, Ron and Kyla befriending everyone, a high stakes golf game, and lost wedding rings all lead to a crazy weekend that will change Marcus and Emily‘s lives forever.

This comedy features a wide variety of crazy situations and mishaps. The four leads do well to play off each other in a way that makes their friendship of total opposites work. Not filled with an overly-complex plot, Vacation Friends still manages to make a laugh-filled adventure that viewers will find impossible to forget.
