Movie Reviews of Wagons East!
Movie Review: A Genuinely Funny Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
When John Candy died while making this film it was a real loss to the world. Not only was he a giant of a man physically but his innate warmth made him a giant of a person. This film was given haphazard promotion and kind of dumped into the marketplace in the Summer of 1994. The pain of losing Candy was so great that fans were not eager to see this movie. Some seventeen years later the sting is still there. You cannot view this film without a tinge of sadness. I will not bandy words. This is not a fitting epitaph for Candy's career. It's obvious that his filming was incomplete. Scenes where he was obviously intended to be in are written around his absence. Body doubles and long shots are generously employed. That said I found this film terrifically funny. It seems that the makers of the film brushed away their tears and decided to put their best effort forth. Yes, Candy isn't omnipresent but in his stead there's terrific work by esteemed actors like Richard Lewis, John C. McGinley, and Robert Pichardo. What greater gift than giving your best for a fallen comrade. A generation later the pain has abated somewhat and you can view "Wagons East" for what it truly is, a fitting tribute to one of the legends of the silver screen.
