Nowadays, I have Netflix and Popcorn and not only I have since then an endless selection or movies to choose from but, as a result, I have become slightly more picky regarding the movies I watch. Before, I used to watch pretty much anything as long as it was starring one or two actors I was interested in and, as a result, I would sometimes end up watching some really obscure features. This movie was a perfect example and the only reason I watched it was because it was featuring Dan Aykroyd and John Candy. Well, eventually, I thought the damned thing was not bad at all. Basically, it was a typical comedy from the 80's and I especially enjoyed John Candy who was just pitch-perfect for this part. However, I wasn't so convinced by Dan Aykroyd. I mean, it was nice to see him trying something else but his character was just so obnoxious that I was more annoyed than amused by him. Another thing that annoyed me was the romantic sub-plot involving Candy's oldest son. Indeed, the whole thing was boring, pretty weak and had nothing to do with the rest of the story. Still, it was a well made and rather entertaining comedy and it is worth a look, especially if you like this genre.
