Movie Reviews of Summer Rental
Movie Review: Why Are You Wearing A Hockey Jersey On The Beach, John?
Summary: 2 Stars
This is by far the lamest vehicle that John Candy ever graced which includes "The Great Outdoors". I have nothing against candy softening his image for a mass audience as he demonstrated so masterfully in "Uncle Buck" but there's no reason to appear in a flick that is so insignificant and forgettable. Virtually nothing works here. The antagonism between Candy's "renter" and Richard Crenna's yachtsman goes nowhere. A possible dalliance between Candy's wife(Karen Austin) and John Larroquette's character is suggested but is dropped like a hot potato. The sole reason to see this flick is the performance of Rip Torn as a salty nautical type. Do yourself a favor and rent National Lampoon's Vacation" instead. Candy had a walk-on in that flick and probably wished he was still in it.Movie Review: a fair film in comparison
Summary: 1 Stars
I agree with the reviewer who mentioned unfinished subplots and unexplained sequences. I gave this movie a chance because I am a huge john candy fan and had never heard of it, but, I know that often, sleeper movies can be buried gems just waiting to be found (a la benny and joon)but this wasnt one of them im afraid.
I found this movie mildly amusing, John Candy does very well but overall, the movie doesnt hold up to his other movies. The ending was dissapointing and there were too many, as above mentioned, unfinished subplots. Was there supposed to be some sort of development with the John Larroquette sequence? that was really a pointless addition other than to give the family somewhere to go while Candy learned his sailing and yeah, what was wrong with the popcorn?
I loved you John Candy and i miss you dearly,you'll always have a place in my heart, however, this movie will probably never be watched again. I will see you again, in planes, trains and automobiles.
Movie Review: Cut Scene
Summary: 1 Stars
I really enjoy John Candy's movies and have copies of most of them. However, since I had seen "Summer Rental" at least twice, I was disappointed when upon viewing this copy, I became aware it had been edited. I know at least one scene was cut (The one involving their pet dog chewing the leg off the chair in the first beach cabin they moved into). I wish someone would develop a method of indicating whether a copy of a movie has been edited from the original release version.Movie Review: worst ever

The DVD has never arrived. I sent 2 emails to the seller with no response. Do not buy from these people. They are both unreliable and unresponsive
