I'm a fan of John Candy, and saw Summer Rental a few years ago. I thought I'd take the chance to watch it with my son as he loved Uncle Buck. There aren't many laugh out loud moments, but if you are a Candy fan it's worth watching. The stressed out Candy is forced to take a holiday which initially appears to be paradise but turns out to be something else. A catalogue of mishaps works us towards the usual 'loser comes good' cheesy ending. Still, definitely worth a watch, despite not been up to the standard of Uncle Buck.
