Summer Rental
(1985)
|
An overworked air traffic controller takes a well earned seaside holiday. He soon discovers that with his wife, three kids, a dog and the inflated ego of a devious tycoon to cope with, relaxation is the last thing he's likely to get! |
Harassed and overworked air-traffic controller Jack Chester (John Candy) badly needs a vacation and takes his family away to holiday on a beach. But almost from the moment they arrive, things start to go wrong and the supposedly restful trip turns into a nightmare every bit as stressful as Jack's job. The combined talents of John Candy and Carl Reiner should have ensured a better end product than this thin comedy which, despite some good moments, fails to fully exploit its promising premise.
