"The Great Outdoors" Plot Summary.
When an unannounced, uninvited and unwelcome family of misfits converge upon a lakeside resort to join their relatives for a summer of relaxation, the result is anything but restful.
It's a vacationer's worst nightmare, as wheeler-dealer Roman, his sexually repressed wife and eerie twin daughters "join" the easygoing Chet and his straight-laced clan for a season of "fun" in the sun. Unfortunately, the only thing these two in-laws have in common is their intense dislike for each other. Soon, it's brother-in-law against brother-in-law in an uproarious and hilarious fight to the finish to see which one really knows how to enjoy THE GREAT OUTDOORS.
