Not great but it has some excellent moments

John Candy was and still is one of my favorite comedians. He knew the art of comedy...and it didn't have to be laced with profanity.



One of the reviews suggest it is offensive to Canadians...what??????



In the film Canadians are portrayed as polite, clean and somewhat naive...Americans are portrayed as violent, dirty and somewhat naive.



For every joke aimed at Canadians is aimed back at Americans...that's what makes the film funny though...it is much like the actual relationship between the countries.



For Canadians...hearing John Candy respond to the capital of Canada being Ottawa was priceless..."What do you think were stupid?", hilarious. :)



Also funny...the streets of Toronto being bare!! Toronto is the 5th largest city in North America. Suddenly...everyone disappears...



Candy will be missed! RIP John!
