0.5/4
"We can only generously call it a pale imitation of National Lampoon's Vacation"  Film Freak Central  Bill Chambers

C
"Mechanical performances by Vanessa Williams and Bow Wow, as Nate's musically inclined son, impair Cedric's earnest comedic efforts in this spasmodic comedy."  ColeSmithey.com  Cole Smithey

"Solange's costumes are fashionably skimpy and her cell phone seems attached to her face."  PopMatters  Cynthia Fuchs

1/4
"...Cedric the Entertainer simply cannot act."  Reel Film Reviews  David Nusair

.5/4
"Appallingly unfunny...About as stimulating as an actual 300-mile drive across the desert wastelands of Arizona and New Mexico."  TheMovieBoy.com  Dustin Putman

F
"A paralyzingly unfunny and desperate comedy. It dulls the senses and aggravates the mind. There hasn't been a movie this painful to watch since "The Passion of the Christ.""  EricDSnider.com  Eric D. Snider

C+
"Was probably always destined for mediocrity."  Film Blather  Eugene Novikov

1.5/4
"...a punishing and weary family farce...the monotonous moments are as lost and aimless as a harried nomad with amnesia...the slapstick energy is undeniably mawkish "  Movie Eye  Frank Ochieng

F
"Not only a blatant ripoff of 'National Lampoon's Vacation,' it's a lousy one besides."  One Guy's Opinion  Frank Swietek

3/10
"I really wanted to like this movie, especially since I'm a fan of Cedric the Entertainer."  JoBlo's Movie Emporium  JoBlo

"It really wasn't as funny as it could of been or should have been."  3BlackChicks Review  Kamal 'The Diva' Larsuel

"Johnson Family Vacation affords the viewer a single offering of suspense in wondering just how the mode of transportation (a very souped-up Lincoln) will be destroyed."  Boston Phoenix  Rumsey Taylor

D
"Tired and glib, it tries to milk humor from the sniping, sass and simple disrespect of its unpleasant traveling companions."  Seattle Post-Intelligencer  Sean Axmaker

D-
"Plays out like the pilot episode for a sitcom that no network picked up."  Eclipse Magazine  Sean O'Connell

4/10
"Cedric the Entertainer is no Eddie Murphy. Rarely does this silly, disaster-prone, predictable story rise above gross mediocrity."  www.susangranger.com  Susan Granger
