Cautionary tale about the unnerving consequences of taking small children on a long trip in a car without air conditioning.
Yes, the Vanishing came to mind. But in that brilliant film we were slowly provided with character motivation. Not here. This is more like a boring French version of the Wonder Boys because of the writer's block subplot. Execept, again, here we have unappealing characters, no drugs, lackluster dialog and pacing, and those whining children. This is one family vacation best left alone.
