...Carter (Ted Levine, “Memoirs of a Geisha”), a gun-toting red-blooded American, takes his family on a road trip to California. They are a picture-perfect example of suburban pleasantry, with two comely daughters, Lynn (Vinessa Shaw) and Brenda (Emilie de Ravin “Lost”) and a teenage son (Dan Byrd). Despite protests from his “pussy Democrat” son-in-law Doug (Aaron Stanford, “X-Men 2”), Bob pledges to drive the “scenic” desert route...

Bill Hughes Lynn Haven, Florida, U.S. As someone whose father has worked in a Ford plant for more than 25 years, I am truly disappointed by Ford's slash-and-burn plans to lay off as many as 30,000 employees.
