Christina Reviews Summer Rental

I first developed a thing for John Candy while re-watching Home Alone in my 30s.  There was a sincerity about him and an expressiveness that drew me in.  Then I re-watched Uncle Buck, and I fell in love.  And so I watched Summer Rental for no other reason than because he was in it.

I thought there were some decent scenes early on and some funny moments.  My favorite line of his was something like, "Always listen to gas station attendants.  They know where to eat."

He carries this movie on his capable shoulders.  But I eventually lost interest in the second half.  I would still say it was a good movie because of John Candy.
