Synopsis
Alistar and Valerie have been planning a special trip to Germany for a very long time. When their son Ross stops by the house to send them off, happenstance turns into an impromptu family road trip of the most tortuous kind. Alistar berates Ross for all that he is not in life, while Valerie tries to keep the peace. It is soon discovered that Alistar's reason for the often comic, sometimes painful trip is to shed a guilt he's been carrying for years. Ultimately, the family learns they need each other more then they imagined.

Jeff in Seattle - Customer Review
Another great comedy from Film Movement. The son helps his elderly parents on a trip to Germany. The father has a mission to locate the place where he dumped his bombs back in the Sercond World War, and to apologize for his actions. The son just wants to get back home by Wednesday (and no side trips to the Rhododendron Park allowed).
