John Candy gets his own vacation movie, after playing in Wally World for Chevy Chase in 1983. Pretty harmless stuff here, & yet some solid gags here & there. I wish we'd had John Candy for DVD commentaries.
I always forget how old this movie is, it seems like 1988. I also get this one mixed in my memory with Captain Ron... another Canadian, Martin Short getting help from a true sailor to win the day.

I liked it more than Great Outdoors, possibly because this one wasn't beaten to death on the TV stations like the later vacation movie. They sprinkled in a little 80's teen romance but it is more just a background afterthought. Unlike Great Outdoors where they took time away from the main plot to push a teen romance for a secondary character that most didn't care about anyway.
