    • Trivia
      In the scene at the party, where the characters of "Jack Gable" and "Rachel Hedison" are dancing, John Candy and Emma Samms did the scene without doubles, although it was difficult to tell because of the distance from which it was shot. Samms commented how graceful and talented a dancer Candy was, despite his size.
    • Goofs
      There seems to be a line missing in the dialogue between Jack Gable (John Candy) and Len (John Michael Bolger). Jack calls Len, but Len automatically knows who's talking and which car is his before Jack says anything.
    • Quotes

      Jack Gable: I am dead! I'm in Hell! And my punishment, is to spend eternity on my own show!

    • Crazy credits
      The opening credits appear as if they are being typed on a typewriter, including some mistakes (cross-outs, use of white out, etc.).

    7/10
    Funny John Candy movie.
    This is a really good movie to watch if you like silly/fun movies, parody movies, or john candy. It has a great blend of comedy, wit, action and all sorts of other things. I am pretty surprised by the low rating. Its not the best movie by any means, but greatly above standard and really enjoyable. The actors/actresses were funny and did their parts nicely. Its not exactly original though, and it doesn't look like it had the best budget, but it does what its suppose to.. make us laugh. Definitely worth checking to see if your video store rental has it. I rate it 7/10. Rated PG for sensuality, crude humor, language and comic violence.
