Manson Family Vacation

"Manson Family Vacation" is labeled as a comedy, but for what purpose? I felt it was more of a drama than a comedy. The plot itself revolves around the fact that one character is obsessed with Charlie Manson while trying to reunite with his brother to whom he hasn't spoken in years. Now if you break down the plot, you could find a potentially "funny" movie or at best an interesting subject for a comedy-drama with more heavy notes on the dramatic part of it. As the movie progressed I didn't feel it was going anywhere and it felt a bit like brainwashing for a moment. It did not have a tendency towards entertainment nor art-house quality. I felt the only good part was not showing the "Helter Skelter" author himself as a character.

Some of the reviews are slightly unusual for this movie - it's not really about The Manson family. It's a good film about 2 brothers, their relationship and their personal journeys.

Like many others, I have been somewhat intrigued by the Manson Family. This film was less than I expected. The kindest thing I can say about it was that it was a totally tasteless attempt at getting to know the Manson Family and what made them tick. I found it to be completely without merit, and a total waste of time and money.

I had no idea what to expect and was pleasantly surprised. There's a cool twist that you start to figure out about halfway through. Its far fetched, but so what. It held my attention and I was glad that I watched it after it was over. I can't say that about every film.

This had so much potential. I spent the first 45 minutes really interested. Was thinking it was going to turn out pretty wild. The next half hour I was thinking man, feel like I've been watching this for quite a while, but nothing's really happened. 9 minutes later, it was over. I don't know who gave this the OK once they finished, but that person needs to be fired.

It's just rubbish. It doesn't have any value. The movie is called "dark humour" but where was the jokes? If you call a movie like "Dictator" or "Borat" hard humour, that's okay, because it's true. After seeing this nonsense I just wanted my 1,5 hour of my life back. It's just boring, the main idea is lame, it doesn't have ending, a lot of plot jumps, actors were so, so, could be better tho. I would never recommend to watch this movie.

Small silly useless movie that is made like a small useless movie. Simple story line peppered with real clips from 1969. There really isnt anything to recommend in this film. It's slow and not so interesting. But the shots of LA locations is interesting and we learn the price of gas was close to $4 in 2014
