Plots(1)
Dan Aykroyd and John Candy team up for the ultimate family vacation gone wrong in The Great Outdoors. When an uninvited and unwelcome family suddenly arrives to join their relatives for a summer of relaxation, the results are anything but restful. Chet Ripleys (Candy) plans for a quiet vacation at a lakeside resort quickly take a turn when his obnoxious brother-in-law, Roman Craig (Aykroyd), and his snooty family appear unannounced and ready to join for a season of 'fun' in the sun. Unfortunately, the only thing these two in-laws have in common is their intense dislike for each other. (Shock Entertainment)
