"Looks very fun, got it for the 420 sale. Hoping for some really weird colorful experience."
"Fully embraces the irony of that exclamation point in the title, and sustains it throughout, as it slowly moves from playfully kitsch (a big bold CinemaScope title treatment over Mini DV footage, underlining the drop off from reality versus expectation) to depressingly dissociative. A total time capsule of the 00’s wave of micro budget US that developed out of Mumblecore, writer-director-editor Zach Clark was always the most visually distinct, and the filmmaker, who seemed to get the maximum from so little. He particularly shines here editorially, crafting a genuinely original acid trip sequence, and cinema can’t lay claim to too many of those! Always a pleasure to see Michael Abbott Jr! Slipcover is a perfect match for the material. After 2 Zach Clark releases, let's get his debut on disc!"
"Drugs are bad!"
"F25 find great indie films. Really enjoyed this blind buy. Transfer is solid and slipcover is nice if you like the style."
"I became a fan of Zach Clark's when I saw White Reindeer at a film festival several years back, and went to seek out his other works. Vacation! was one that I stumbled upon. It's a cheeky fun time with some really great performances all around."
"Popcorn comedy/crime movie. It is a good way to relax and not think too much."
"That took a turn. An odd film, enjoyed!"
"Journey to the beach with the girls via the rabbit hole of mind bending drugs for a fresh perspective on life and death I was pleasantly surprised with this blind buy and love the slipcover"
"If you’re into early 2010s indie films I’d highly recommend this one"
"Bought this based on the slipcover and it looks like an absolute trip, a zany collection of ideas mashed into a single movie."
