Movie Reviews of The Great Outdoors

Movie Review: Candy+Akroyd Are Hiliarious!
Summary: 4 Stars

I miss John Candy movies. He was a great comedian and the tet-a-tet with Dan Akroyd is humorous.

Summary of The Great Outdoors

The candy family heads for the hills in search of relaxation and a tranquil summer by the lake but ends up with comic chaos. Studio: Uni Dist Corp. (mca) Release Date: 02/14/2006 Starring: Dan Aykroyd John Candy Run time: 91 minutes Rating: Pg

This hit-and-miss 1988 comedy pairs John Candy and Dan Aykroyd in a story of one family's summer vacation all but ruined by the uninvited appearance of another, more loutish family. Howard Deutch (Some Kind of Wonderful) directs from a half-hearted John Hughes script, which reduces Hughes's jokes-and-epiphanies formula (The Breakfast Club, Home Alone) to true gaudiness. On the other hand, Annette Bening makes her screen debut here. The DVD release has a widescreen presentation, production notes, trailer, optional French soundtrack, and optional Spanish subtitles. --Tom Keogh
