A hilarious and moving new comedy about sad people on vacation.

Ron wants his family and friends to experience the summer vacation of his childhood. But his friends are too busy seeking a threesome, his kids don’t give a s**t, the Australians next door want to see the “real” America, and his wife won’t stop falling asleep.

Will he have a Summer of His Life? Will he connect with his family? Will he ever get cotton candy?

Director Kathleen Warner Yeates
