We Need a Vacation

FROM THE LINER NOTES

In We Need a Vacation! two ballsy, ten-year-old, city-bound, ghetto kids grow so tired of seeing billboards and TV commercials glamorizing the latest international vacation hotspots, that one day they decide to take a little trip of their own. But since neither has money, the boys attempt to con their way onto a plane to Africa. When that doesn’t work, they try stealing a car stereo to finance the purchase of airline tickets. When that runs amok, they stow away in somebody’s RV, which they think is headed for the beach, but which actually ends up in a landlocked nudist colony.

Whether breaking into houses, hitting on middle-aged women, or camping out in the woods, these young rascals of We Need a Vacation! are always endearing and frequently laugh-out-loud funny. A classic buddy/road movie, We Need a Vacation!also provides keen insight into some important social and class issues.
