Any John Candy fan,must own a copy of this film. I myself am a big fan of the Late Great JC,and i do have a few of his films,but no collection is complete without a copy of this film delirious. He plays a writer of a soap opera,he one days bumps his head,and wakes up in the setting of his own soap opera,typical John candy stuff.Very funny,but i would say that, i am biased. Go treat yourself today,go get a copy.
The all time best line in the movie -- John Candy rescuing Emma Samms on horseback -- "This stranger knows no danger!" A bit spotty -- can't maintain a high comedy level throughout but nonetheless is enjoyable and a vehicle for John Candy to demonstrate comic range. Excited he will get to spend a romantic weekend tryst with Emma Samms (and misunderstanding her feminine wiles), he finds himself lugging umpteen of her suitcases to the taxi cab, then knocks himself out with the trunk door as he tries to load the suitcases. Wakes up in the pleasant little village where she reappears as new character, daughter of Raymund Burr, along with others in town, Mariel Hemingway et al. Plenty of lines for Candy in trying to write the new soap opera about family conspiracies with a stolen formula, and the rapid disintegration of Emma's brother while none in the family seem to notice or care. Again the highlight to me was the rescue chase by Candy when Emma's horse took her on a wild ride and Candy rides up and self congratulates later as modern day Zorro or Lone Ranger. All in all, enjoyable.Read full review
