TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film

RyothChatty ridiculous rating

ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.

Mehdi Hoffman There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

Majikat What starts out as a tour of the murder sites becomes a much deeper story of identity and belonging, surprisingly a good watch.

meeza "Manson Family Vacation" is not all I ever wanted.... Had to start my review of this independent film with a Go-Go getter. Anyways, this film did have two well-tuned acts, but the last act was pretty much an unbelievable horror to watch. J. Davis wrote and directed the flick and was produced by Indie stalwart producers the Duplass Brothers. Jay Duplass actually stars here as L.A. family man and lawyer Nick. Life is good for Nick, until his wild brother Conrad comes for an L.A. visit. Conrad is obsessed with Charles Manson, and persuades Nick to take him around town to all the Manson murder sites. I did enjoy the love/hate relationship between Nick and Conrad that were displayed in the first two acts of the film. But then Davis decides to give in too much into the family of over-the-top filmmaking with an unauthentic third act that almost bored me to death; yea I know, wrong choice of words. I must give kudos to actor Linas Philips for his fine turn as Conrad. Too bad Jay Duplass did not duplicate the admirable acting of Phillips with his performance as Nick. "Manson Family Vacation" is not total helter skelter but I would not recommend this vacation. *** Average

The Couchpotatoes Don't watch it if you expect it to be a thriller like it is categorized in because it's absolutely not a thriller. Not even a little bit. I wonder why they put it in the thriller category, must be a mistake or maybe we don't have the same definition when it comes down to thrillers. Nor is it a real comedy even though Linas Phillips made me laugh more then a couple times. His laugh is just funny and I could not stop myself laughing when he was. It's a drama with some funny moments. It deserves more then it's actual ratings on IMDb. For me a movie always deserves at least a seven when I don't get bored for a second. And with Manson Family Vacation it was the case. It's an easy to watch movie, much better then some crap that are higher rated on here.

Cassandra Bautista I am not a fan of murders and still have no understanding of why people idolize murders however most of us still are intrigued with trying to figure out what creates killers.This film was humorous,interesting,and made viewers pause and see that although some people kill they all have talents or gifts. People with potential without love and nurturing can waste their lives away and sometimes take others with them. Great film ideas that I did not see coming great twists to story that I'm sure many more film enthusiasts will love to watch. Impressive film. Great work. This film will do great on big screen and on dvds. Very interesting topic and most importantly serves as a reminder of what both good and evil capabilities people have. It also showed a perspective on Manson family that although his acts were horrible he still is a human.
