Cedric the Entertainer stars in JohnsonFamilyVacation as Nate Johnson, the consummate family man who wants nothing more than to take his family on a cross-country trip to his mothers house in St. Louis in order to attend the Johnsonfamily reunion.
Not only does the film open with Nate and his son, DJ (Bow wow), stopping at an auto dealership to pick up their new car only to learn that theyve been given the wrong model, but it features a host of other shockingly similar parallels.
Surprisingly, Erskin seems to have gotten into this as well, once giving Williams reason to refer to their familys planned trip to see the worlds largest ball of yarn; in Vacation, the Griswolds were planning to see the worlds largest ball of twine.
