Where Are You Going on Holiday?

About This Movie

So, 'Where Are You Going on Holiday?' is this quirky little comedy from 1978 that plays out in three vignettes, each one a delightful mess of vacation misadventures. You’ve got two ex-lovers, a somewhat hapless tour guide, and a married couple all trying to navigate the chaos that vacations can bring. The tone is light and playful, but there's also this underlying commentary on relationships and expectations. It’s not your standard comedy, the pacing has a nice ebb and flow, really captures that awkwardness of travel. The performances are charming, if not a bit offbeat, which gives it a unique vibe. Plus, the practical effects, while not the focus, have a certain charm that adds to the film's distinctiveness.

This film isn't the easiest to find on physical media, which definitely adds to its collector allure. It has had sporadic releases over the years, mostly in obscure compilations or indie labels, making it a bit of a treasure hunt for completists. The niche appeal and the offbeat humor give it a certain cult status, drawing in those who appreciate lesser-known gems from the late '70s.
