Known as Get The Gringo across the pond, How I Spent The Summer Vacation reunites co-writer and star Mel Gibson with Adrian Grunberg, who acted as Gibson’s first A.D. on 2006’s excellent Apocalypto. Replete with the Mad Mex’s trademark schlock and run through with some truly ingenious humour, you can’t help but commend Mel for not just buying a box-set, stocking up on Hob Nobs and holidaying on the sofa like the rest of us.

It seems to be the busy season for Mel Gibson. Not only is he is starring in Jodie Foster’s The Beaver, preparing for the release of Edge of Darkness and announcing that he’s to direct a Viking epic starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Variety has revealed that he’ll also be starring in a new film called How I Spent My Summer in Mexico, an action drama written by… Mel Gibson.
