Amazon.com: 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. --Tom Keogh

Rating: - Another John Candy Classic!
This film is a delightful break from the mindless comedy of today. It is not John Candy at his absolute best, however it is most definately worth watching more than once, especially if you are a John Candy fan. Also it's a wonderful trip back into the 1980's! If you grew up in the 80's like I did, or if your just simply a Candy fan, you'll enjoy this movie. Definately worth the money!

Rating: - Fun Summer Movie
When I first saw this movie some years ago, I laughed so much! Now, I use some of the one liners after the years. I am glad I bought this movie. It is very fun to watch!
Rating: - Summer Rental
One of the funniest yet least played John candy Movies. Anyone who sails can appreciate the humor mixed in with very accurate sailing moves. If you're a Captain Ron fan, you definitely need to add this one to your collection.
