Summary

Soda company executive Bob Munro is stressed, threatened with losing his job and his lifestyle since his abusive boss Todd Mallory hired Stanford geek Laird to work at the company. Bob has promised his wife Jamie, his teenage daughter Cassie and his young son Carl a family vacation in Hawaii, but Todd demands that Bob prepare a presentation and attend a business meeting with the owners of a family company in a merging operation scheduled for the same period. In an attempt to hide the truth, Bob rents a recreational vehicle and tries to convince his wife and kids that a road trip to the Colorado Rocky Mountains will bring old-fashioned values back to their dysfunctional family. After many incidents in the trailer parking area, the rookie Bob is helped by the bizarre but friendly Gornicke family. They escape from the Gornickes and initiate a journey of difficulties and learning, in the process retrieving their forgotten family bonds.
