My Favourite Movie Ever. The Possibly John Candy's best work.
13 February 2003 | by (Australia) – See all my reviews

John Candy's Performance in Once Upon A Crime is possibly his best ever. It's been My Favourite Movie since it came out. I Spent 5 Years searching for it. That's How Good It Is. If You Disagree, well, that's your opinion. Enjoy The Movie.
