    A fun movie with some good laughs!
  • April 21, 2008
    A typical John Candy movie, co-starring Eugene Levy (before he decided to hop aboard the American Pie milktruck), Meg Ryan (before she decided to leave her marriage for a telephone-slinging Aussie), Robert Loggia, Duke from Rocky and Mr Strickland from Back To The Future. Really ...( read more)enjoyable if you're into these types of movies, which I find a guilty pleasure.

    Gosh, I didn't realize it was going to be this formal. If I had known it was going to be this kind of party I would have worn underwear.

    Candy and Levy. Comedic legends; well, Candy is for sure. Typical 80's fare, but I still laugh a bit at some of the stuff in this movie. Although I've never been able to get Eugene Levy's ass cheeks out of my head ever since.

    average script and candy wasnt at his comedy best, though i dont think the script let him.

    it would be nice to think that we live in a world where a security guard can comandier a gas truck, but we dont.

    id rather watch candy in somehting else to be honest... (cough).. uncle buck

    A guilty pleasure for me. Not much of a plot and the plot it does have is best not to pay attention to, just enjoy John Candy. He was one of the best and here he kind of plays a jerk. If you watched the show "SCTV" you knew that Candy could play a hilarious bad guy but the movies...( read more) always cast him as the nice guy. Meg Ryan is in here and she is a cutie and Eugene Levy should have been given more to do in this movie. He is basically the straight man.
