Query: Am I out of step?

I read the book then I read all the reviews and I have to disagree with the praise heaped upon The Vacation. Horvath has taken her formula for success and applied it once too often. Instead of being eccentric and quirky, all the adults in this variation on a theme are just plain selfish and unpleasant. Even the Hallmark Moment at the end of the story can't redeem a tedious and pointless journey.
