totally underrated!
This film is totally underrated! I feel it is one of the few things Chris Columbus could be proud of writing! Love it. Love it. Love it.
The actors were perfect in their roles! In the scene where John Candy sees Ally making up the corpse to look like Babe Ruth...I actually shed a tear! He was a dynamic actor and a great loss before his time. The film is beyond funny the rest of the time. Maureen O'Hara Steals the entire movie, once again showing herself to be a Hollywood Gem! Nobody but Jimmy Belushi could've played his cop partner. NOBODY. That part had to be written just for him. Even Ally Sheedy, playing the emotionless-on-the-outside love interest who was just full of emotions was an in-depth character. I could've seen very few actresses today who would have pulled that off...maybe Dunst or Portman.
In another 10 or 15 years this movie will be ripe for a remake, with very few changes. I hope it does this FUTURE CLASSIC FILM justice.
That's my opinion. Everyone's got one
