I've always enjoyed John Candy's film, especially when he's directed by John Hughes (or in this case, a screenplay written by Hughes). Naturally, this film is absurd in plot, premise and execution, but for some inexplicable reason (perhaps nostalgia?), I love the hell out of it. It's a rainy day film on all accounts, curled up on the couch with the window open and watching with one eye open, drifting in and out of consciousness. When I went to Universal Studios for the first time as a kid, I was thrilled that the tram ride goes by the back lot section with the cabin that they used in this movie, and since then I've liked this film even more now that I've "been" to The Great Outdoors cabin. Anyways, definitely check it out if you're a fan of Dan Aykroyd, John Candy or John Hughes.
