this be an absolute piece of junk . no doubt it be the bad john candy flick the late actor make . even uncle buck and make the same year and be an improvement on this idiotic waste . this movie just isn not funny at all . although it wasn not mean to be take seriously ( it be and after all and a comedy ) the laugh be few and far between and and most definitely not original . unfortunately this be make on the downhill slope that candy career become and after plane and train and automobile . it be simply not funny and a major disappointment consider candy performance in movie like stripe . someone who want a good john candy movie should try only the lonely or stripe . avoid this piece of crap at all cost .
