weird cover and not THAT bad


it was a funny made for tv movie, although there was a pretty big plot hole at the end of the movie.
I always enjoyed the message of the movie and it made me laugh a few times.
But the cover shows John CAndy from Summer Rental. Although he directed this movie he appeared as a russian with long greasy hair and a beard at the end. He was sporting his Wagons EAST! look.

I think it may have actually been filmed bettween Canadian BAcon and Wagons East!

Johns part is actually pretty terrible and a waste of his loveable persona. He doesnt show up till the last ten minutes. But any fan of his should check it out since its the only film he directed.
