Do It Yourself Christmas Vacation Movie (D: your choosing. S: Your Choosing)

Okay, this is obviously not a real movie, but something I wanted to try for fun.

Let's say you're life is going to the subject of Holiday movie (not a Christmas Vacation re-make) where you have a wife and kids and it involves going back home for the holidays. Both you and your wife are busy body working parents, and by the time the movie is over something sappy happens, but so does some hilarity.

We are also obviously not using our real lives as inspiration unless we want to , more of a "if you were in one of these movies, how would you want it " scenarios. Basically, and idealistic version of your life.


My director: Cameron Crowe

Stars:

Me- Bradley Cooper- egotistical choice, I know, but it's my choice, so screw it.

Wife- Jessica Chastain

Kids- who cares?

Parents- Michelle Pfeiffer and Tommy Lee Jones

Please don't follow this model, add as many characters as you wish to your own and have fun!

Sadly, given all the violent drunken puking lowlives I'll be sharing this Christmas with, the director would have to be Larry Clark.

Is this the movie where you discover that, although raised a Jew, you were adopted and born a Muslim? If so, wasn't the working title The Infidel 2: Rock the Dreidel of Love?

No, that's another film about my life starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as the Dreidel.

The Rock, really? So they got rid of Mickey Rourke?

Does the film still star David Bowie as Mahmoud Ahmadinejad Leibowitz, Rabbi of the Islamic synagogue in Boise, Idaho?

With a different director involved, say Brett Ratner, I'd want to see this.
