John Candy's first leading role was in this 1985 film by Carl Reiner, in which the comic actor played a stressed-out air traffic controller who takes his family on a Florida vacation and has to deal with arrogant, rich jerks. Candy is good in what is almost a straight part (albeit with some jokes), and Reiner keeps the tone in check so his star has an opportunity to show more than one dimension. <i>--Tom Keogh</i>
Viewer Reviews There were too many edited scenes that made this purchase a non value. 1. When driving to the beach, an edited car scene. 2. When arriving at the first beach house, an edited upstairs foyer scene. 3. When in the first beach house, the dog chewing on the sofa leg and the collapse of the sofa. 4. The fabulous boobs scene. All these scenes were cut out, and when combined, they only add a minute or so longer to the movie.
