I mean it’s really not that bad. It’s quite enjoyable actually.
John Candy is enjoyable, as always, it’s a funny film and I think that’s all that matters. If you’re expecting anything more, I mean what’s wrong with you? It’s a comedy movie with John Candy, don’t come in expecting "The Godfather".

Forced myself to finish this instead of finding something else. Candy deserved better material.
