Über diesen Film

This routine comedy is about a series of misadventures during a family vacation at the beach and stars John Candy (who died of a heart attack while filming in Mexico in 1994) as John Chester and Karen Austin as his long-suffering wife Sandy. When the family leave for what turns out to be a pretty decrepit shack on a public beach, Jack eventually locks horns with the owner of this dubious piece of real estate, and their conflict terminates in a boat race in which Jack and his motley crew are at first glance, and even second, no match for the others in the race. In the meantime, there are plenty of skits with Jack dressed as anything from an ample, unintentional likeness of a geisha to the normal tourist dude in a Hawaiian shirt. His wife and daughter tackle their own problems, related to sex in one way or another, mostly another.

I have seen this movie over two dozen times, and I never get bored of it. I think it's one of John Candy's best films. Finally, it's on sale for a great price and I can add it to my phone and TV. I'll be able to watch it anytime, anywhere!

I wore two vhs tapes out! Own two dvd's of this adorable movie! Always made me feel good! Can watch over and over! John Candy made everyone laugh! 😅

There is no more 80's summer time movie than Summer Rental.
