From the same director that gave us "The breakfast Club", "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" and "Planes, Trains and Automobiles". Each of them are comedy classics with a gentle heart...
This movie is in the same spirit as "Home Alone" but only this time around John Candy and a teenage girl are the main focus of the movie, with Macaulay Culkin only playing a smaller supporting role.
The good: this is one of the best John Candy films. Funny (sometimes hilarious) and charming and even with a lighthearted, warmhearted "dramatic" final. Suited for young and old.
The story: John Candy is a bum, who loves to be a bum and who loves his freedom to drink and gamble and bum around. Suddenly he has to take care of his brother's kids for a weekend, which he has never done before. Chaos and wild antics follows and what a joy it is to watch it all !
