Hera: How can this couple dodge their own family gatherings for a vacation in Fiji? Their comeuppance is delicious. Of course, Olympus can get a bit tense when you-know-who starts throwing his thunderbolts around the living room. Thumbs up.
Zeus: Oh, so I'm to blame now? It couldn't have anything to do with all your conniving, twisted schemes to get back at me, could it? No wonder the kids never call anymore! Thumbs up.
Dionysos: Yikes. I can identify with this one. When Hera found out that Zeus had an illegitimate child (me) by a mortal lover, she was so furious she struck me with madness. You can imagine what kind of family gatherings we have up in Olympus. The humor in this movie is funny because it's true. Honestly, everyone should watch this as a catharsis. They can get all the stress out and then enjoy the holidays with their families.Thumbs up.three thumbs up
