      is a sequel to the classic comedy "Holiday Adventures" starring Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo.
      Well, I have to watch the two together!
      American highway movies, we are now learning!

      The United States in the 1960s was full of restlessness and anxiety. After the so-called "American Dream" was completely shattered, road films appeared as genre movies. The highway is always an element full of metaphors and symbols in American movies. This...

The kid rusty in this movie has grown up to become a pilot, and took his wife and children to the same parent-child holy place Willy. Road trip to Deer Paradise. The film echoed this one at the back of the film, visited my parents, and drove the whole journey through this car in 1983.

      This is a very interesting setting.

      "Holiday Adventures" (1983): The American Social Scalpel

      What are you commenting on funny, jokes, and a little bit off the beaten track? The essence of this movie is a sharp social satire packaged into a nonsensical comedy. A five-star rating is for balance, and a four-star rating is completely qualified: a relaxed style, constant laughter, exaggeration and careful thinking can be "extremely scary", it's all ugly in reality, full of aftertaste.

      On the expression of "Golden and Jade's Failure...
