1988 - Rated PG - 1 hr 31 min
Director: Howard Deutch
Starring: Dan Aykroyd, John Candy, Stephanie Faracy, Annette Bening, Robert Prosky
This one is a classic, and most likely the reason we own this entire collection. Dan and John play brothers-in-law living two very different lifestyles. Dan's the rich stock broker, John's a bit more humble. Dan and family crash John and family's vacation: let the hillarity ensue.
Whether he intends to or not, from minute one Dan Aykroyd's ruining John Candy's great outdoor getaway. Log cabins, lakes, local steakhouses... you name the arena, Dan Aykroyd's causing trouble. This movie has some great moments between the two comedy legends, which is basically the whole reason to watch it. Meanwhile, Annette Bening seems to play the young version of her character in American Beauty... kinda fun to go back and watch.
One more movie in the John Candy Collection and we're back to the regular J movies.
I wish these two had done more movies together, they really are great playing off each other.
