| Kerri Green and John Candy in SUMMER RENTAL Year: 1985 |
John Candy, in his first leading role, plays a burnt-out air traffic
controller on a two week Florida vacation and, starting with
accidentally settling into the wrong house, things go wrong in the usual
domino-falling fashion: Meanwhile, cute daughter and wife, Kerri Green and
Tracy Austin, are great to gander, and son Joey Lawrence isn't
annoying like movie kids can be...
SUMMER RENTAL is
broken into two halves: the first, dealing with the clan's unlucky
misadventures, including their rental house used as a way-station for
tourists and various oddballs; the second involving Candy, after breaking his leg, learning how
to sail by modern pirate Rip Torn, thus preparing for a big boat race
against local bully Richard Crenna, playing bad to the hilt in this underdog family film that's not always hilarious, but
there's plenty to smile at. Especially the first half before that inevitable destination is neared (like Lois Hamilton showing John Candy her Christmas presents). Upon re-watching, you may find yourself hoping our tubby hero remains uninjured, so to wreak havoc the old fashioned way: by accident.
