Vacation Friends Director Explains How He Designed the Wild Comedys Trippiest Scene

With Vacation Friends now streaming on Hulu, I recently spoke with director Clay Tarver about directing his first feature film. If you havent seen the trailers, Vacation Friends is about two couples that couldnt be more different that happen to meet up at a resort in Mexico. Marcus (Lil Rel Howery) and Emily (Yvonne Orji) are straightlaced and careful planners while Ron (John Cena) and Kyla (Meredith Hagner) are thrillseeking partiers that dont worry about what tomorrow may bring. When the two couples end up rooming together because of a hotel mixup, the usually levelheaded Marcus and Emily spend the week enjoying uninhibited fun with their vacation friends. Months later, back in the real world, Marcus and Emily are shocked when Ron and Kyla show up uninvited at their wedding. As you can imagine, chaos ensues. Vacation Friends was written by Tom Mullen, Tim Mullen, Tarver, and Jonathan Goldstein John Francis Daley and also stars Robert Wisdom, Andrew Bachelor, and Lynn Whitfield. During
