Rock Ross described this breezy, frenetic work as "an original mambo-rap creation myth of chaos of vacation." Indeed, the film begins with the bold, declarative text, "In the beginning there was only Chaos." Nocturnal grown-up party scenes alternate with children posing, play-acting and frolicking on a beach. The chaos of vacation is checked by the inexorable logic of vacation: day follows night follows day follows night. - Michael Fox
