The Fucket List
Two separate families arrive at a rental home for a two-week vacation together. Tim (Axel Haze) is there with his step-parents, Jennifer (Rachel Cavalli) and Phil (Daniel Shar), and his step-brother, Pete (Elias Cash), who is Jennifer's other step-son. Meanwhile, Johnny (Mighty Dee) is there with his two step-moms, Kelly (Sadie Summers) and Kathleen (GoGo Fukme). Although the joint family vacation is something they've done multiple times in the past, the three boys in the families feel differently now that they're older, so they are majorly bored. That's when the boys get mischievous, coming up with various dares to keep each other entertained, which just happens to mostly involve pranking their step-moms - and one unsuspecting pizza girl (River Lynn).
