There are only a few actors in the same category as John Candy when it comes to 90's comedy. The reasons that this movie does not rank as one of the best movies of its genre are a good,not great, script, no special effects, and only one star. Unlike movies with good scripts, and single stars, Groundhog Day and Uncle Buck, there was nothing to be done with this premise. For other movies with missed potential one needs look no farther than movies like Godfather 3, Bram Stokers Dracula, Waterworld, The Fan, etc. The difference between those movies and this one is that the star had nothing to do with any of the films perceived problems. If you like John Candy, and if you don't you are an idiot, this is a great flick. His other movies that are worth an evening, doesn't matter which evening they are worth showing up late for work, are Uncle Buck, The Great Outdoors, Plains Trains and Automobiles, Once Upon a Crime, Brewster's Millions, Spaceballs, Stripes, Nothing but Trouble, and Who's Harry Crumb. They are all a little zany, except for Planes Trains and Automobiles which is still one of the only movies that will make me cry no matter when, how or, who I see it with. Want proof that Candy can act, watch Planes he plays such a sad and honest character that there is no doubt that he has what it takes. John Candy is one of the Great comedic actors of the second golden age of American cinema, he is set apart from other notables by his lack of personal problems, his candor, and zest for life. We should all be as fortunate as he for the blessings he was given. Mr. Candy you are and will be missed, and for as long as there are roofs there will be those of us who shout your name from atop them. Long Live SCTV, John Candy and the best Julia Child I have ever seen.

John Candy has done some great comedies; Only the Lonely, Uncle Buck, The Great Outdoors, to name but a few. And while this is far from his best, it is still great fun to watch. The premise begins with Candy as the screenwriter for a cheesy day-time soap opera. After receiving a bump on the head, he awakens to find himself caught in the script he has been writing. He is now one of his own characters and has to endeavor to find his way back to this alternate reality, or so it would seem. This premise is done well here, but was done far better (and darker) in "In the Mouth of Madness," the horror production featuring Sam Neill. While I found this movie to be fun, as I said, it is not the best of Candy's films. I highly suggest "The Great Outdoors," & "Uncle Buck." "Summer Rental" wasn't bad, either. One of Candy's least known, yet better, films, in my opinion. This movie rates a 5.8/10 from... the Fiend :.

This is one of those John Candy films that you wish was just that 10% better, to be worthy of the great man's talents. It all starts well enough, but the one joke premise outstays its welcome pretty quickly, and Candy can't save it.

Jack Gable (John Candy) is the writer of a successful soap opera in NYC. He's in love with manipulative diva Laura Claybourne (Emma Samms). Louise (Mariel Hemingway) is the bumbling new actress. The Sherwoods are interfering producers looking to kill off Laura's character. He gets hit on the head and finds himself in the soap opera in Ashford Falls Community Hospital after a car accident. He discovers that he can manipulate the characters by rewriting the story. John Candy's ample amount of charms can't salvage this movie. The problem is that the soap opera is fake and the only compelling character is Candy. It also doesn't help that the best he has to work with in this movie is Mariel Hemingway. At least, she's game even if she's not that able. This is a miss.

This is a really good movie to watch if you like silly/fun movies, parody movies, or john candy. It has a great blend of comedy, wit, action and all sorts of other things. I am pretty surprised by the low rating. Its not the best movie by any means, but greatly above standard and really enjoyable. The actors/actresses were funny and did their parts nicely. Its not exactly original though, and it doesn't look like it had the best budget, but it does what its suppose to.. make us laugh. Definitely worth checking to see if your video store rental has it. I rate it 7/10. Rated PG for sensuality, crude humor, language and comic violence.

I have recently re-watched one of John Candy's more interesting films done around the subject of the soap opera. This film stars Candy as a producer of a Soap Opera that ends up being pulled into his own world where he has the opportunity (or misfortune) to interact with the characters that he created to love and hate. This movie is pretty good. I felt that the entertainment value is fair and it is re-watchable. The cast interacts well and there are some very funny moments. I enjoy this film but unfortunately it falls in around the same basic feel that most comedies had at this time so don't expect the spectacular or a film that is gut wrenchingly funny. If you are looking for a film that is enjoyable and fairly pleasing this one has a good feel to it.
