I watched the movie Vacation With Derek. This movie stars Ashley Leggat (Life With Derek), Michael Seater (Life With Derek), and Ariel Waller (Life With Derek).
Following the television series Life With Derek, the McDonald-Venturi family gear up to spend part of their summer vacation with their grandmother at her lodge.
I give this movie 3 out of 5 stars. Watch The Credits.
While I enjoyed both this movie and the television series, I did not like how despite the fact that this movie is set just weeks after the show ended, some of the characters are not mentioned and how that changes things within the story-line, i.e. relationships.
Fun Facts:
- Despite this movie being set in summer, this movie was filmed in the fall, which in Canada can be quite chilly, and as such it was snowing at times.
- Both Michael Seater and Jordan Todosey would later join the Degrassi universe. Todosey as a series regular and Seater in the movie Degrassi Goes Hollywood. The television series, Life With Derek, also featured stars of the Degrassi universe.
