I love that you react to movie very few or nobody is reacting to on RUclips. I have to say, I also like it when you react to the popular movies, basically I like all your reactions hahaha. I also never heard of this one, so this is going to be interesting
That’s so good to hear, you’ve made my day 🥹 I try to do a good balance between old and new stuff, but you can’t make everyone happy all the time and some people really like to make sure you know when they’re not happy 😂
This movie was really the turning point in John Candy's career. Before this movie he was seen as mainly a sidekick actor, this illustrated that he could carry a starring role. The odd dubbing of the youngest child was a rush job. They in fact Kerri Green (the older sister) did all of her lines in post because of the rushed timeline on the film. Carl Reiner directed this film and he and John had such a blast working with each other that they really wanted to do a sequel. The idea for the movie came from the writers real life vacation in Southern California and the difficulties of being a larger man on a beach (issued included getting into the wrong house, being on a public beach pathway, spraining a leg in a boat accident, being next to a bunch of lifeguards, sunburn, and Jim Belushi coming over for a visit and throwing a party with random people in the rental). The project was heavily restricted on budget and time, so it was shot in about 2 months. Candy only took $800k, which was smaller than many of his previous side roles. The film production started in March and was in theaters the same August (which is very very short). This yielded a bunch of sub-plots that were just poorly put together. In fact there was supposed to be a bigger thing with the neighbor and his husband to add a PG-13 spice to it, the John Larroquette and son role was supposed to be bigger leading to some tensions and resolutions. Basically an almost affair on both sides, the wife thinking Jack was having an affair from all this comical encounters with the neighbor but Jack actually having an 'affair' with a boat and it really about him establishing a core achievement again in his life. In the end the studio decided that the PG-13 could cost them some market share so they dropped all those bits and forced it into a PG and switched the marketing to a family movie. Also interesting fact, many of the crew on this film actually were also involved and committed to Back To The Future, which was wrapping filming just after this films shot was done. One of the reasons this got shoehorned into a small gap in the studio's schedule.
“John Belushi throwing a party with random people in the rental.” How on-brand is that? 😂 But yes, a fun movie that just could have used a little more script work.
@@RhetoricalThrill Totally. It was actually Jim (John's younger brother). But yeah all the Belushi's were pretty out there and got away with a lot of things and just semi-imposing on other people (but of course everyone instantly forgave them too).
Thanks for this. Glad to see a reaction for this. Everyone knows the great outdoors and people forget about this. I am glad you found about this and added it your channel
😎👍 This film was directed by Carl Reiner (Rob's Dad). While it's cute, I think his best work is the Steve Martin vehicle "All Of Me" which came out a year earlier. 😉
Some other John candy films worth checking out.....find the lady, going berserk, volunteers, armed and dangerous, speed zone, nothing but trouble, only the lonely, delirious, once upon a crime
For a more touching summer/back-to-school film, try Lucas, if you haven't seen it. Good showings from Kerri Green, Corey Haim, Charlie Sheen, and Winona Ryder.
Can't remember if I've suggested it before, because I might have, but if you want to see some good Rip Torn, a personal favorite of mine is Albert Brooks' "Defending Your Life", with Meryl Streep! Which, when it came out, was advertised as the first true story about what really happens when you die!
For better Carl Reiner directed work, try Summer School, Fatal Instinct (a parody of films like Fatal Attraction, Body Heat, Basic Instinct), and anything he's did with Steve Martin - The Jerk, All Of Me, Man With Two Brains, and Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid
Honestly, probably not anytime soon. 3 hour movies are kind of exhausting and I don’t do them often. I’m not ruling them out but it likely won’t be soon.
@RhetoricalThrill I'm sorry, I wasn't taking in consideration your editing time. I should have, I had 100 hours editing my first book. I'm not done with suggestions though 😉
I find Summer Rental drags a bit, but the race at the end is a lot of fun as is Rip Torn. Try One Crazy Summer for another summer comedy with a boat race.
A very underrated John Candy flick

@@RhetoricalThrillyou make us, your real fans, very happy.
Fun fact: Kerri Green did not only her own lines, but overdubs for all of the younger daughter's lines, as well.
@@BouillaBased I always heard that was John Candy... 🤔

True. Everyone does have the same wind, and that is legit, but not everyone has the same boat and knows how to use it!
R.I.P To A Great Actor Comedian John Candy, Still Miss You Always,Thanks For The Laughs

You have to add John Candy's movies 'Going Berserk' and 'Armed and Dangerous' to your list.
Another RT Reaction yayyyyy
Hope you are having an great and awesome day ❤
Holy cow! Never expected to see anyone react to this!
Might I suggest a movie called "Going Berserk", also with John Candy?
Good movie. Richard Crenna was great.
I had a sunburn like him once and it was a horrific experience
SAME
My upper arms are perma-scarred from a sunburn 30 years ago surfing in Australia.
Other great Carl Reiner comedies are OH GOD!, SUMMER SCHOOL, DEAD MEN DON'T WEAR PLAID and THE MAN WITH TWO BRAINS!
Nice! Haven't seen this one in a while. Always used to catch it whenever it would come on TV.
I knew you would like this one.Weekend At Bernie's will make a great one to follow it
Agreed, then followed up with The Great Outdoors with Candy and Aykroyd.

I actually did that one for my Patreon a few months ago 😊
@@RhetoricalThrill ah, I see. Not for the eyes of freeloading peasants like myself. I get it!
I enjoyed watching this with your commentary. 🙂
I’m so glad!
You and everyone in the comments is beach ready and beautiful. Bump 💯
And yeah me and my sis used to laugh at that dub. Forgot about that 😂😂
It was very surprising 🤣
This a classic and great movie!!!
Check out ONLY THE LONELY and ARMED AND DANGEROUS!
And Who's Harry Crumb?

Check out Captain Ron ⛵️
Rhetorical, any way of convincing you to do "Patton"? Or maybe "The Great Escape"?
Honestly, probably not anytime soon. 3 hour movies are kind of exhausting and I don’t do them often. I’m not ruling them out but it likely won’t be soon.

Mommy, Can I play in the basement with Yorku?
*shudders*
The redheaded Scot is Mr. Wilhelm from Seinfeld.
I'm surprised you got the Joey Lawrence impression, you look way too young to know this../Cheers!
I didn’t watch the show but I remember he was a cultural icon for a time 😊
I forgot how cringe and awkward this movie is at times, John Candy really pulls it off well.
John Candy's passing was a major loss for comedy.
Now watch Uncle Buck (1989)
It’s up here on the channel 😊 I think around September last year
@2:44 got a good chuckle out of me
Not feeling too good but you're right I do look good. Some John Candy and your jokes should cheer me up.
With our powers combined 💪🏻 💜
Great John Candy movie on of the best, great reaction, have fun on your vacation.
Thank you!
Trunks exist to be overloaded!
😂

Try One Crazy Summer for another summer comedy with a boat race.
It does feel a bit like a bunch of random things strung together, doesn’t it? 😂
Why is this gal’s face plastered all over this review with scenes blotted out! Get out of these scenes! You voiceover is plenty…
Because it’s “this gal’s” REACTION CHANNEL, not “show a copyrighted movie for free” channel.
