"Manson Family Vacation" is labeled as a comedy, but for what purpose? I felt it was more of a drama than a comedy.
The plot itself revolves around the fact that one character is obsessed with Charlie Manson while trying to reunite with his brother to whom he hasn't spoken in years.
Now if you break down the plot, you could find a potentially "funny" movie or at best an interesting subject for a comedy-drama with more heavy notes on the dramatic part of it. As the movie progressed I didn't feel it was going anywhere and it felt a bit like brainwashing for a moment.
It did not have a tendency towards entertainment nor art-house quality. I felt the only good part was not showing the "Helter Skelter" author himself as a character.
