Vacation: There Are Black People In It

August 6, 2015 by Rashid

I recently saw the film Vacation, a continuation of the National Lampoon’s Vacation franchise from the 80s.  It was not very good.  But there were black people in it, namely Keegan-Michael Key and Regina Hall!  They were pretty good.

Sorry I don’t have much else to say.  Wasn’t a good film or a good use of black folks.  It was the typical “Black neighbor/friends juxtaposed against kooky white family” for a scene.  Oh well, maybe next time!
