Academy Award

Nominated for this year's "Best Picture", Roadtripocalypse
  • Characters in this charade: Niece and Nephew, Allie and Zach and two monkeys named Jo-Jo and Jo-Jo, respectively.
  • Nomination for best supporting actors.
  • Allie dominated her role as pee-pee-er and van-stopper. Her routine requests for potty-breaks and drinks were long remembered after the movie ended.
  • The audience loved Zach's fear-filled dialouge entitled "Consequences to Bad Choices"

  • Ari: This little 14 month old who poops more than her weight per day... and eats three times as much.
  • Nominated for Best Soundtrack, including her debut single: "Hi". Ari's joy and spirit shined throughout the movie and one can pity her dire straits as you listen to her squawking and cries for more cheese.

  • And introducing, Ella Grayce Myrick, first time nominee for Best Actress. Adorable, lovable and so sweet. We'll be seeing much of her in the next few years.
  • And here she is in her red-carpet attire. Ella Grayce arrived earlier than expected for this year's Academy Awards but her debut was magnificent and worth the 9 month anticipation.
  • The final scene where the new mother and her two sisters talk of ice-packs and fear of walking closes Roadtripocalypse with such meaning... making the 19 hours of mini-van torture all worth the score.
  • We'd like to thank the Director, Mitch, for his amazing role and courageous spirit throughout the filming process. His generousity and goodwill should be awarded.

I'd like to thank all the members of the "Scream" Actors Guild for nominating me, my 7th grade teacher, Sister Roberta for recognizing my talent at that hot bed of all famous Directors, St Bavo's Elementary School, the Mishawaka Chief of Police for never prosecuting me, but most of all, the fans, because without them, what would we have, an empty van?


Great post Jenny. And all five of you made it worth all of those record setting 17 stops, thanks for allowing me to tag along.
