About
It's vacation time for outdoorsy Chicago man Chet Ripley, along with his wife, Connie, and their two kids, Buck and Ben. But a serene weekend of fishing at a Wisconsin lakeside cabin gets crashed by Connie's obnoxious brother-in-law, Roman Craig, his wife, Kate, and the couple's two daughters. As the excursion wears on, the Ripleys find themselves at odds with the stuffy Craig family.

Three Raccoons
Hey kids… New people in the loon's nest! They have Illinois plates, Mom. If they're from Chicago, we'll be eating good. Lobster Tails! A shitload of raw hot dogs! You know what they're made of… Lips and assholes! Rock on the top of the cans. That never works. We'll just knock the cans over. Of course we will. Can I stay up again and watch the big guy rake up all the mess? Where're the garbage cans? They're not the cleanest species on the face of the earth, you know. It's not a problem. We'll just have to break in. Can we dot that? What do you think we have these wonderfully articulate fingers for? To scratch our asses? Why's Jody sitting the lake? You didn't hear? She got shot in the ass! Oh no! Don't tell me… Yup… She's bald in both ends now!
