Classic! For John Candy and summer vibes, there's also "Summer Rental". Also, kind of different, and maybe more outdoor than summer, but "White Water Summer" was a good one from my youth, with a young Sean Astin and Kevin Bacon. It's not really a comedy. More adventure/drama, but worth checking out. The local girl, Lucy Deakins, had a short period where she was in a few things. Not really sure what happened to her, or why she didn't become bigger, but she starred in a movie called "The Boy That Could Fly". I honestly haven't watched it in decades, but I do remember it being a good one.
Oh jeez, that’s a memory unlock! I don’t know if I saw The Boy Who Could Fly but we had the Disney channel way back when I was tiny and I remember promos for it at least.
@@RhetoricalThrill yeah. One of the things that I vaguely remember from it was that it might've been the first time that I saw Fred Gwynne as something other than Herman Munster. Not sure if you know him, but he had been a legit actor that had done theater, movies, and TV, but was mainly remembered for the original "The Munsters" TV show, where despite his long career, was basically known as the goofy version of Frankenstein. Another good one that he was in as part of a really good ensemble cast was "Disorganized Crime", which was a real good comedy/action flick from the late 80s, that you'd probably dig.
16:59 We’ve got a Bingo 😂😂😂😂 Also love this line at 18:22 You were in the John with Kate and Connie’s dad and you said and I quote “ That Roman Craig is Crooked son of a bitch 😂😂😂
"You bastard! You bastard!" "I think he's saying go faster." Fun Fact: Theatrical movie debut of Annette Bening. The Rest Of The Story Fact: John Hughes had intended to direct the picture himself, but scheduling conflicts did not allow it. Location Location Fact: In the movie, the family eats at Paul Bunyan's Cupboard. There is a popular resturaunt in northern Wisconsin, called Paul Bunyan's Cook Shanty. Unfortunately, the '96'er isn't on the menu. Product Placement Fact: Several times throughout the movie, characters are seen drinking Point Beer. Point is an actual beer made in Stevens Point, in central Wisconsin, and is very popular throughout central and northern Wisconsin, where the movie takes place. A Point Beer sign is also seen in one of the restaurants in the film. Cutting Room Floor Fact: The theatrical trailers show footage deleted from the finished film: Chet (John Candy) talking affectionately to a mounted moose head, Roman (Dan Aykroyd) uttering an unearthly belch at the dinner table, and Roman with his annoying laugh in another scene. In the standard film version, the laugh is only heard when Roman and his clan first arrive at the cabin.
Hey! I am so glad you enjoyed The Great Outdoors! No, it isn't fine cinematic genius, but it is a fun enjoyable movie! Hohn Candy was always just a classic.
@@RhetoricalThrillI'll second that one but I would seriously put it I would a double feature with the movie "Soapdish". After your reaction of "Tootsie" I think you would really enjoy "Delirious".
It did lose the concept of the brother-in-law rivalry, and became a string of blackout gags . When I saw this in theaters, I was very disappointed, but in the years since, it's grown on me. It's still a half-baked movie, but nostalgia and some genuine laughs make it better than when I first saw it.
Hi Rhetorical Great reaction. Love this movie make a point of watching this at least once a summer. In fact since I saw this reaction coming I watched the movie last night
I was once close enough to a lightning strike to feel the em field pull on the iron in my blood. The second closest was about a week ago feeling the blast wave before the sound wave. Both times on my bed and the strike just outside. The one with the em field it melted the cable drop outside.
@@RhetoricalThrill The first one was like the feeling from playing with magnets repelling each other but from the inside. Didn't hurt but felt weird something like going over a hill and feeling a sudden reduction of G forces except to the side. The last one was sitting against the wall and felt like someone hitting it first just before the sound. You just don't want to be the shortest path to the ground or the best conductor. The cable acted as a lightning rod and didn't see the actual path of the second. Suspect an old fence, old rabbit cage or my garden stuff, because phone and power not hit.
Not sure where my post when it got lost in the ether. Lol. But I will repeat quickly if you looking for flat out John Candy comedy you can't do better than, for me, "Armed and Dangerous", "Who's Harry Crumb?" and "Delirious". If you want to see a little more serious change of pace for John check out "Only the Lonely". He's also a great sidekick in "Splash" and "Brewster's Millions".. Also really really great in "Cool Runnings". He's also really hilarious in "Stripes" but it's a small supporting part but man John was so hilarious.
9:57 The crush I had on Lucy Deakins back in the day wasn't Phoebe Cates or Jami Getz level, but her performance in "The Boy Who Could Fly" (1986), and her Cool-Chick vibe in this made me so much the Smitten Kitten.😻
My top favourite John Candy Films are Uncle Buck, The Great Outdoors, Summer Rentals, Canadian Bacon, Cool Runnings and Plane Trains and Automobiles all are Great in their own ways and always make me laugh and entertaining to watch with the family 👍🏻. Man we can only imagine what movies John Candy would have made if he were still alive. If you are and Canadian and love John Candy you should watch the Splash reunion on UA-cam that Josh Gad did during the Corona Lockdown and Created the Reunited Apart Series where Cast Reunites and specifically The Ryan Reynolds special Appearance where talks about John and what movie his kids love the most he made a wonderful tribute to John Candy it’s at the end of the Reunion he is talking then says I made this tribute then it cuts to the tribute enjoy watching it also Josh Gad has also done other reunions such as the Goonies, Ghostbusters, The Karate Kid and many more just search Josh Gad reunions on UA-cam and you will find it.
Love that you are honoring John Candy my two absolute favorite flat out comedies... "Armed and Dangerous" and "Who's Harry Crumb"... I find "Delirious" hella fun... And if you want to see something different I highly highly recommend "Only the Lonely"... He's also great in "Splash" and "Brewster's Millions" but he's the ride or die sidekick in those.
I like this movie fine, but it wasn't the summer movie I had growing up. My summer movies were the original "Meatballs" and "Ernest Goes To Camp". Seen either of them?
'Meatballs' with Bill Murray was very funny & he played the camp counselor that everyone wanted to have at their camp (and I also recommend that movie for more summertime fun) but Jim Varney as Ernest (a character that he started doing in commercials) in 'Ernest Goes To Camp' was hilarious in my opinion....

I remember my family vacationing at a lake house in Hot Springs, Arkansas as a kid. Plus we'd go there so mom and dad could visit their opera instructor's grave and decorate it. But the lake house there was kind of a miniature version of the cabin in this movie.
@@RhetoricalThrill when it came to swimming in the lake there, I stayed as close to the shore as possible. I was 6 years old and had a phobia of water (for swimming anyway). That happened after I was asleep on the deck of a family friend's swimming pool when I was 4. Before I knew it, I'm at the bottom of the pool freaking out. Plus it didn't help that I was only 3'8" and 40 lbs due to health conditions. Heart condition when I was born, and a stroke during my second heart surgery when I was only three years old. Resulting in epilepsy, no left peripheral vision whatsoever, and a condition where the part of the brain that warns you when you're getting too upset has been shut off. Let's just say I've lost count of how many punching bags I've destroyed lol
4:51 I'm with you 100% there, M'Lady. I've worked on building a bunch of Lobster Boats over the last several years, but I'd never again try eating one of those Vile Sea-Bugs. 🤮
Not my favorite John Candy, but the whole business with the bear is hilarious. Also the racoon subtitles 🤣🤣🤣 and the steak 🤢 I think Dan Aykroyd being a lying obnoxious mooch just rubs me the wrong way and weakens the rest of the movie, but other than that it's ok. Summer Rental (with Rip Torn), Who's Harry Crumb (with Annie Potts), and Only The Lonely (with Ally Sheedy) are much more enjoyable John Candy to me. You might even try the very, very strange Nothing But Trouble, with Dan Aykroyd, Chevy Chase, Demi Moore, and John Candy. Also 2Pac (it's... strange)
I always found it interesting that the most boring part of the movie was the subplot with the teenagers, and it was only a year before when John Hughes did nothing but teen comedies.
I’ll be honest, I don’t enjoy most of his teen movies very much. Pretty sure the only ones I actually love are Ferris Bueller and Sixteen Candles. It’s the looser, more silly ones I like 😂
I tell you what. Check out some SCTV if you run out of John Candy movies. It's a whole new treasure trove. Candy himself said SCTV episodes were meant to be watch whole, not in clips, because of the themes, skits were loosely connected. I don't know how he would feel about UA-cam because it's all out of context clips. The best ones were Count Floyd's Monster Chiller Horror Theater and Dr. Tongue's 3D House of Cats and 3D House of Stewardesses.
For me I think Candy isn’t quite as effective as the straight man. He feels a tiny bit stifled. I did enjoy it for what it is, but I agree they have better ones
For summer movies from John Candy i would also include “Summer Rental”. I haven’t seen it since i was a kid but i remember it being funny.
Kerri Green was so good in Summer Rental, as she was in The Goonies and Lucas.
Don't forget about young Joey Lawrence (of Blossom and Melissa & Joey fame) was in it too.
Classic! For John Candy and summer vibes, there's also "Summer Rental". Also, kind of different, and maybe more outdoor than summer, but "White Water Summer" was a good one from my youth, with a young Sean Astin and Kevin Bacon. It's not really a comedy.

How could you blow off the best line in this whole movie for your edit!?
"IT TOUCHED ME!"
"ITS BEEN TOUCHING YOU FOR 20 YEARS YOU'VE NEVER FREAKED!?"
I must have missed that one, probably laughing about another line 🤣
As others have already mentioned Summer Rental is a great follow-up film for you to watch!
Hey! I am so glad you enjoyed The Great Outdoors! No, it isn't fine cinematic genius, but it is a fun enjoyable movie! Hohn Candy was always just a classic.
With his movies I can be pretty confident we’re just going to laugh and have a good time 💜
John Candy was in some good ones, but I always liked the super weird Delirious movie.
I don’t think I know that one
@@RhetoricalThrillI'll second that one but I would seriously put it I would a double feature with the movie "Soapdish". After your reaction of "Tootsie" I think you would really enjoy "Delirious".

It’s one of those ones where once you figure out what you’re getting, you just enjoy it for the fun bits 💜
The raccoons reminds me of the animated movie Over The Hedge.
Also not seen that one 🤔
@@RhetoricalThrill I strongly urge you to watch that movie. It's fantastic!!!
It's the start of winter here in South Africa and watching this summer movie makes me so sad. Winter is the worst time of the year.
Aw, I like winter for a little while. Of course, for me Christmas being in winter helps a lot
Hi Rhetorical Great reaction. Love this movie make a point of watching this at least once a summer. In fact since I saw this reaction coming I watched the movie last night

15:45 not littering, he redecorated the litter that already existed.
Have a look at the horse's eyes when John tried to climb on it.
Oh no 😂

R.I.P To a Great Actor Comedian John Candy Still Miss You Always Gone to Soon

Lol, I'll summer means to me is misary. Weeks of triple digits. 105° isn't fun anyway you cut it.
Oh yeah, that’s a big EW from me 😂 stay cool out there!
@@RhetoricalThrill The swimming pool gets to 95°. Eww is right.
Not my favorite John Candy, but the whole business with the bear is hilarious. Also the racoon subtitles 🤣🤣🤣 and the steak 🤢
I think Dan Aykroyd being a lying obnoxious mooch just rubs me the wrong way and weakens the rest of the movie, but other than that it's ok.
Summer Rental (with Rip Torn), Who's Harry Crumb (with Annie Potts), and Only The Lonely (with Ally Sheedy) are much more enjoyable John Candy to me.
You might even try the very, very strange Nothing But Trouble, with Dan Aykroyd, Chevy Chase, Demi Moore, and John Candy. Also 2Pac (it's... strange)
Candy's Summer Rental is a good co-watch.
The actress playing Cammie would graduate from Harvard in real life and quit acting. She's now an attorney.
Starred in The Boy Who Could Fly before this.
@@tempsitch5632 oh boy that bring up some memories, big crush on her then

Minnesota represent!
To this day, I do not finish a steak... look at the plate... and not think of John Candy's face when the cook says he has to eat the gristle.
😂 the way he clings and whimpers
Such a great and fun movie with a great cast!
You can tell everybody’s just having a ton of fun!

I should!
Such a dumb movie, but I love it. My big brother (that organization is a story in itself) took me to see it.
I suggest you watch " Amazon Women On The Moon " 👍
Hope you are having an great and awesome day ❤
I hope you are too!
The ole 96er
Annette Benning was freaking gorgeous.
Really funny too!
Another movie is Summer Rental w John Candy worth a reaction you should have good commentary.
I want to do that one too!
Considering the two comic potential performances this movie isn’t that great. Too pg-13 for me.
For me I think Candy isn’t quite as effective as the straight man. He feels a tiny bit stifled. I did enjoy it for what it is, but I agree they have better ones
