Non è stata una vacanza... è stata una guerra! (1988)
Chet, sua moglie Connie e i due figli Buck e Wally, si recano in un magnifico paesino canadese su un lago dalle acque invitanti, con la speranza di trascorrere una bella e serena vacanza. Ma già la casa dove dovranno risiedere non si presenta bene poiché è sporca e a soqquadro. Poi l'arrivo inaspettato del cognato Roman, con la moglie e due piccole figlie gemelle, rovina del tutto l'esistenza al bonario Chet, che diventa il bersaglio dello spiritoso parente.
