It said it was raucous comedy and I laughed raucously. In 2025. I was skeptical & it blew me away. Funny but also a true-to-life family.
I don't know if was funnier when it originally came out or now. John Candy and Dan Aykroyd are amazing in this! 10/10
Classic comedy, great to watch and rewatch with friends and family.
This is one of those dad movies you're glad you watched. It's pretty crazy
I have no idea how many times I've seen this. Aykroyd's snob vs Candy's Dad of the year- classic. "No one's blowing anyone out they're ass!"
Great comedy with John Candy on top form
Such a funny adventure with two hilarious actors
This is a classic from ghost story’s to first hooks up to creepy cozens this has got it all and more. Little dated but a lot of fun. C it
