Jack: You , out!
Fat Man: Buzz off buddy I was here first
Jack: Get on out of here now!
Fat Man : You get out of here fella. I'm trying to watch the Smurfs.
Jack Chester: You're trying to watch the Smurfs?
Fat Man : Yeah.
Jack: Did you see the one where Papa Smurf took a crutch and smashed the living crap out of a guy with a red hat? Did you see that one? Do you want to see that one? Archie, you stink traitor.

TAG Heuer teams up with Rowing Blazers for a colorful Carrera
Rowing Blazers, a bright and jolly design house dedicated to making clothing that looks like it was worn by the crusty rich guys in the 1985 movie Summer Rental (starring John Candy) has teamed up with TAG Heuer to make a Carerra that looks like something snooty John Larroquette would wear in that film.
The watch is a standard Carrera but it is based on the TAG Yacht-Timer of 1970s vintage,…

Old Letterman interviews with SCTV cast members brought me out of my funk. John Candy was super funny. I don't think I've watched much of his stuff. 'Summer Rental' is my favorite thing of his.
It's so weird watching interviews like that too b/c you know where these people are now. Like, Martin Short said his singing career was over after a night at a club. Now I know he was joking, but I said to the screen "that's a lie, you haven't shut up for so many years!" I love the man, there's zero doubt, but I like older Marty, dramatic, contained Marty. Things I've seen him in that isn't 'Three Amigos'.
ANYWAY! Yeah, interviews in general not really big fan of, I find them awkward, and I stopped watching Late Night talk shows so long ago. But when I do watch, I like seeing a bit of their real personality come out. Like Andrea Martin was so awkward and kinda ditzy. Joe Flaherty was laid back and almost shy, but he was with John Candy who over powered the interview in a good way. It was so weird watching John smoke while being interviewed. Dave Thomas and Rick Moranis were fun, more reserved.
Dude on YouTube, Don Giller, has a 12 part series of all the interviews and I made it through part 1. Will be watching 'Cannibal Girls' on Pluto TV. Eugene Levy's debut. And possibly Andrea Martin's too, haven't researched that hard. Didn't really watch her interview either, I skipped around, it was almost a 2 hours long video haha

Chris: I watched this 80’s comedy film with John Candy since it was recommended to me eons ago, and this film has aged and is not nearly as funny as it once might have been, only for John Candy completist fans, otherwise only good to fall asleep to, Watch: When Free.
Richie: I have never seen this movie before, it is barely a comedy, I can’t imagine it did well in theatres, Avoid.

Summer Rental
(1985)
Director: Carl Reiner
I first saw Summer Rental when I was 14. I remember it well, because I was sick. It’s odd how you remember the things you watch on TV when you're sick, especially as a kid. I wasn’t even home from school. It was either winter break or a weekend. The memory has always been warm, so I assumed the movie was probably decent enough.
My decision to revisit Summer Rental 15 winters later was probably spurred by my newfound fascination with the movie, nay, film Captain Ron. Maybe being stuck inside during this pandemic winter is making these tropical movies look like an escape. I don’t know. What I do know is this: Summer Rental wasn’t quite what I remembered. I never put much stock into the critical consensus surrounding decades old movies. After all, Captain Ron is an unsung masterpiece and it has a 23% score on Rotten Tomatoes. There is a reason this John Candy vehicle got panned though.
Summer Rental is an unlicensed National Lampoon’s Vacation sequel.
This really felt like it was originally written as a spec script for a sequel to the first Vacation. I suppose there was a whole genre of “guy with a picturesque family has a bad vacation” movies in the 80s and early 90s, but the resemblance to the Chevy Chase franchise is obvious. The script for the first 2 acts may as well have said “John Candy has Clark Griswold style mishaps. Audience laughs riotously.” Even his wife in this movie can best be described as “Dollar Store Beverly Di’angelo.” She and the kids are barely characters in this movie. The boat race angle in act 3 kind of sets it apart from the Vacation movies, but locks it into the “yuppies ruining a vacation spot” trope that is so prevalent in 80s movies.
Being generic and derivative isn’t a mortal sin, if a movie at least scratches the itches it promises to scratch. Summer Rental does not do so. Several gags end abruptly without seeing whatever jokes they’re pursuing all the way through to their logical conclusions - as if they overestimated John Candy’s ability to adlib as a fat Clark Griswold stand-in and didn’t actually write the endings to scenes. A storyline that had his wife and kids hanging out with some other better looking guy also goes absolutely nowhere. John Candy tries hard and is likable throughout, but there’s not enough in the actual script for him to drag this movie out of the mud. The regatta conflict is introduced way too late and plays out in a way that is equal parts frustratingly stupid and predictable. Summer Rental basically just has the audience aimlessly hangout with a sunburnt fat guy and then, with 20 minutes left, suddenly decides to be about a boat race.
Verdict - it’s bad
This movie would definitely be better if it was just a Vacation sequel starring Chevy Chase as Clark Griswald. According to wikipedia, Bernie Brillstein said it was inspired by a vacation he had went on. Bullshit. Summer Rental was definitely based on the success of a different movie about a bumbling asshole taking his blonde wife and their kids on a vacation full of disappointing compromises. It’s short on laughs, short on story and short on any of the cheap thrills that sometimes make generic 80s movies memorable (AKA gratuitous nudity). There are plenty of better John Candy vehicles where he is playing more authentic and or more likable versions of the classic John Candy character. The character in this movie lacks that signature Candy warmth. Pass.
Note: I did fuck with the cheesy score in this movie. It’s comforting in a way that evokes an optimistic period of my life.

Jack: We should have brought shoes.
Jennifer: I can't walk anymore. My feet are burnt.
Jack: Just hop, honey, just hop. Come on up on Daddy's shoulders. There you go! There's my girl. Hold on. Boy! Here we go. Just got to find Mommy now. Excuse me. Jeez, I'm sorry. Really.
Man: That was my hand, mister!
Jack: Sorry about that. It's just sand; it's fine. It's this darn cooler. The thing broke off again. I'm waiting for a part from Minneapolis.
Woman: My camera! Lift up your foot! My lens!The sand!
Jack: If there's any damage, send the bill to 415 Beach Lane, OK?
Man: You big bozo! That's my lunch!

Happy 70th birthday wishes go out to the late great John Candy, shown here in “Summer Rental” with fellow funny man, Rip Torn, who passed away in 2019. Candy has been gone since 94, and I can only imagine the laughs that we would have had if he were still riding the river. I think I mentioned this on a Chris Farley post, but I could easily see them in a father/son situation where one drives the other crazy and it would be hard to pick which one would be the straight man. Maybe they both would drive each other crazy and be blind that they are doing so.
This funny man is missed.
