The main reason to watch this is John Candy. Candy was filled with joy comedically and dramatically. The film is not great, but his presence is irresistible.
Forced holiday for a clumsy air traffic controller and his family.
The family comedy Summer Rental delivers some good laughs and fun times, but it’s completely forgettable. When an air traffic controller is forced to take a vacation it turns out to be more trouble than it’s worth as everything that can go wrong does. The cast is pretty good and includes John Candy, Karen Austin, Kerri Green, and Rip Torn; however they’re stuck in stereotypical roles that prevent them from doing much. Predictable and formulaic, Summer Rental fails to distinguish itself from the run-of-the mill vacation comedy.
John Candy is great. This movie...is not. What else is there to say?

Absolutely hilarious. Why? I laughed out loud over 10 times. Forget about the weak plot. John Candy, comedy legend. It’s a film to laugh and enjoy many times over. One of my favourite comedies. 10/10.
