John Candy is one of my all time favorite funnymen. He had a lot of disappointments in his career, but Summer Rental was not one of those. The fact that it wasn't a bigger hit still amazes me for the mere fact that this movie is a model of comedy movies made in the '80s. Kinda corny, kinda cheesy, yet full of family directed humor. Candy and Rip Torn were great together as potential somebody meets past almost was. Summer Rental will not disappoint those wanting to laugh and feel good at the same time.

A fine example of a John Candy comedy that hits most of the right notes. While I don't think it's quite his best comedy, it's still fun to watch and holds up much better than many other 80s comedies.

Candy delivers another funny performance in this slap-stick, everything goes wrong comedy. Not one of the best shows I've ever seen but will still give you a laugh.
