OUCH! - Call me a geek, a nerd, whatever, this film has been on the list practically every year. Putting it at number one this year as I continue to be determined to sing it's praises. The key to enjoying this film is to be reminded it's a Carl Reiner (hellooo) flick, not a John Candy flick. One of the reasons Candy is so good in this (besides being at the apex of his success) is he sticks to the script and doesn't get too far out there in Candy-land ha ha. Richard Crenna really gets to flex his comedic chops and he's funny as sh*t as his continual feud with the renter Candy escalates. Lest we forget the late great Rip Torn is also in this as a goofy pirate type. If you haven't seen it, give it a shot! Available on all the major VOD outlets. 3.0 stars/5
