Those of you looking for a serious drama mystery, look elsewhere. This is only for it intended audiences, young audiences with budding imaginations. John Candy get the job done taking the audience on a delightful, funny ride... Seriously. He's a fumbling private detective on a mission to save a girl. He gets himself into very funny situations only to succeed showcasing his humilty, charm and odd wit. He is definately the heart of this story. Kids will roar with laughter and remember this movie out of all of the 'no hearted' movies they ingest today. Wonderfully accomplished.
