It's
interesting how two sisters can squabble without
stopping until they get stuck taking their vacation
with a new kid, that belongs to their father's new
girlfriend. Talk about united ... they have one
goal -- to keep John D. Jones from having a good
time. Little do they know their sarcasm and
rudeness fits right into the book he's writing "How
to conceal the fact that you are an idiot." John D.
plans to dedicate it to the girls who expanded his
understanding the word "idiot". "The Animal, The
Vegetable and John D. Jones" takes place at the
beach and it wouldn't be complete without one of
the kids falling asleep on a raft and being carried
out to choppy seas.
