6/10
Not perfect, but every John Candy movie is worth a watch.
4 April 2023
The good: Jim Belushi and John Candy provide for some excellent deadpan jokes, that are to die for AND stay funny, even after repeated viewing.

More good: John Candy has got a golden heart and he is capable of showing a (more) serious romantic side as well, always accompanied with a side joke ofcourse.

Any bad? The role of the overbearing mother is a bit thin and not very credible, but the mother functions as the serious character who is there to set up the conflicts in the house, where John Candy still lives with his mother, while already being 38 and still being single.

Will John Candy find true love and escape from his mother?
