One of my favorite comedies of all time - an under-appreciated gem


I own it, am watching it again for the 50th or so time. It's hilarious, almost tongue-in-cheek. Hanks plays against type as a fish-out-of-water rich snob and Candy is in peak form. The story is simple yet perfect, allowing the actors to toss in joke after joke after joke.

It's gotten forgotten during his 80's comedy heyday, but I honestly don't think Hanks has ever been more hilarious. I would love to know what he remembers about it (except that he met his future wife while shooting it).
