I miss movies like this...back in my day; kids would watch movies like this with whole family( John Candy is such a treasure, so glad yall found him)❤

[@JJ_LovesMusic]

Unfortunately nowadays it's starting to get hard to find family movies because Hollywood is trying to ruin them with homosexuality, transgender, devilish things, to indoctrinate our children😢 I don't care who you wanna be. I wish Hollyweird would Just leave the kids alone.

[@michaeldorsey1394]

Amen my friend perfectly said. I grew up in the 80’s too and did the same thing with my family. I remember watching national lampoon’s vacation quite a bit too lol.

[@deborahlewis656]

@michaeldorsey1394 one of our family favs is Christmas Vacation every year too 🤗

[@robynaboverubiesorpearls]

I know, right?! I miss those days. 💖

[@johnrawlings6610]

I did with my family and friends too. I was born in 83 and still love it. Sending good vibes from Southern Maryland!

[@dustinabraham]

I think you guys would really like Grumpy Old Men. It's so funny and has two amazing actors you're probably not familiar with... Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau, and one you are familiar with Burgess Meredith, who played Mickey in Rocky.

[@dominushydra]

I second this motion

[@TheDeadStretch]

Hell yeah!

[@daletaylor5589]

Y’all got that right lol

[@KatSut1978]

Yes!! I suggested that so long ago. I hope it’s on the list!

[@xzonia1]

Love that movie! They should really add it to their must watch list. :)

[@StrongStyleFiction]

One of my favorite movies as a kid. No one used John Candy's talent better than John Hughes. He really saw beyond just the comedy ability to Candy's true and usually untapped talents. Only the Lonely really showcases what Candy is capable of as a leading man and we see that potential for preformances with depth in certain scenes here as well. What a great talent Candy was and what a great writer John Hughes was.

[@ryanjacobson2508]

Candy played believable three dimensional characters... So many "comedy" actors overplay things and can be annoying. And yes Hughes really knew how to play to John's strengths.

[@shainewhite2781]

RIP, John Candy. ",Big..big...big bear chase me!" Lol!! One of the funniest and most memorable lines in the movie.

[@AndieO]

Epic movie quote.

[@larrywilliams5014]

I the raccoon line "now he's bald on both ends."

[@MAGGOT_VOMIT]

That bear hadda BIG OL' BWUTT!! Too bad Jay and Amber didn't show that part nor show the bear bouncing on the door with Chet under it. OMG!! They left out and cut up so many good parts, like they had some inept person editing this one in a rush. This isn't like their other vids. This was awful!!

[@RedRoseSeptember22]

@@MAGGOT_VOMIT lol yep :P my mom always lost it whenever she saw that part XD

[@robertg7396]

The song at the end, that Dan Akroyd was dancing to is by; Wilson Pickett. It's called "Land of a 1,000 dances" and you did a reaction to it like a year ago. 😃

[@Michijim]

FYI, the dancing at the end was the actual cast party at the end of filming. They took a camera in, filmed, and decided to include it in the movie credits.

[@chrishackett554]

Absolutely a classic! Love this movie. Summer Rental is also a great Candy film. 😂 In upstate New York, especially in the central Adirondacks, it was quite common to go to the local dump to watch the bears. We use to go all the time visiting Piseco Lake except we didn’t throw Zagnuts to the bears. Lol Great times growing up in the 70s and 80s.

[@daave365]

Summer Rental. You beat me to it 😂

[@boycedave1]

i also went to the dumps in the Adirondacks people would throw their garbage bags in and watch the bears come out of the woods to eat the scraps

[@sockpuppetworld2622]

Summer rental absolutely

[@umainebearman]

I cant imaging going through life without John Candy in it. There's not a single movie he's been in regardless of the size of the role that I don't adore. From the stories that are told of him off screen about how he truly was the kindest, most generous, sweetest man anyone could meet. We miss you John but will never forget you.

[@youtubelar1415]

I have read a story of some movie that he was on(I can't remember which one)where he showed up and the backstage crew thought that he was a new hire for the crew and asked him to move some heavy objects around. Instead of having a major ego-trip("Don't you know who I am. I could have you fired."),he happily helped out and didn't try to embarrass the crew members. Very humble and easygoing guy.

[@edwinpayne2231]

"Go find yourself a Spin Cycle!" Yes! I am so glad you guys finally watched this movie. I watch it every summer with the whole family. And most of all I'm happy that you liked it too.🎥💖

[@30AndAWakeUp]

John Candy in Summer Rental is my favorite!

[@goyhoipolloi]

The actress playing the wife of John Candy is absolutely hysterical. She is so funny and is an actress who deserved more and better roles than she was given. Whatever she did she was a joy to watch. You'll recoginze her as Max's mom from Hocus Pocus. I love her to pieces.

[@Dr.Acula76]

Hilarious, talented, and beautiful!

[@GranpaMike]

Heck, yeah! The actress is Stephanie Faracy. She's one of those people you just adore at first sight.

[@carolynquinn8325]

She slays the “okay, okay.. no one’s blowing anything out their a**es…” scene 😂😂😂 - kills me every time!!

[@PV1230]

@@GranpaMike I thought that was annette benning?

[@GranpaMike]

@@PV1230 No, not Annette Benning, but I see how the resemblance can be confusing. They're both sweeties you just want to hug and hang out with.

[@matthewganong1730]

I loved this film so much as a kid. My Dad and I used to rent it from the video store multiple times every summer. A couple of times we brought the TV out on the back porch at his house and camped out there and watched this movie. John Candy was such a treasure and I think I miss him more than any other actor that we’ve lost.

[@RazorsEdge1810]

Glad you both liked this movie!! Wilson Pickett sings the song at the end: The Land of 1000 Dances!!

[@iansimons5553]

Absolute legends. Back in the days of great family movies. John Candy never disappointed.

[@Pestsoutwest]

June 1988: I spent my birthday at Bass Lake, where this movie was shot. My father wanted to be the cool dad, so he showed us how to use a rope swing. The rope snapped on the way down, and he hit 3 inches of water, breaking his back for the second time on a birthday of mine. I always remember that story when I think of this movie. P.S. I got a bicycle for my birthday that year after the trip in the ambulance.

[@ThunderPants13]

The guy who cooked the "Old 96er" is played by late actor John Bloom, who stood 7'4".

[@tacobellalugosi2527]

Such a timeless summer time classic with two legends . Another classic John Candy film you gotta watch is “Summer Rental”probably my very favorite.

[@rickdeleon7386]

"Summer Rental" is my very favorite John Candy film. It's also the only time I've ever seen John Larroquette portraying a good and decent person.

[@SRGots]

Roman's theme when he's driving up to the cabin still makes me laugh. That music is so perfect for that character.

[@leoda_lion4107]

Another John Candy gem you should see is Cool Runnings. Based on a true story.

[@garybradford8332]

You'll love "Summer Rental" (1985) with John Candy.

[@jimtatro6550]

“You wouldn’t know a good time if it fell out of the sky, landed on your face and started to wiggle.”😂 I have loved this movie since I saw it theatrically.👍

[@wichitadisciple9874]

This was one of my favorite movies when I was a kid. Such a fun movie!

[@msj2677]

You guys need to watch “Splash” with Tom Hanks, John Candy and Daryl Hannah!

[@gregwasserman2635]

The Great Outdoors was a "classic". Sure, it isn't going to win an Academy Award, but it was a lot of fun with lots of laughs. I remember seeing my first bears in the great outdoors at an open pit dump in the UP of Michigan. I thought is was great, but my sisters freaked out because the bear was next to our car. Never saw a guy on crutches move so fast when he got too close to some cubs and the mama bear didn't like it! And in the Great Lakes region, yellow perch are considered a delicacy. They may not be big, but they are delicious.

[@martinbraun1211]

God, I miss John candy. ❤️😔

[@nicyo1724]

The way he walks in the twins room and says “good evening” always kills me

[@j..e..m]

If you guys haven't already, I would highly suggest Spaceballs, it's another John Candy gem. I cried the day he passed, he was a favorite in my house growing up. He was also in Blues Brothers with Dan Aykroyd, he played Detective Mercer.

[@e.a.r.9155]

All the movies that started John Candy, Dan Akroyd, Tom Hanks and Chevy Chase together were Winners..!

[@Jedi4Life-u5y]

Great reaction! Another great John Candy movie you might want to react to is Summer Rental. Keep up the great work!

[@robincochran7369]

Another fun movie with John Candy is Summer Rental. There's also Splash with Tom Hanks.

[@stevenschmidt3464]

I forgot all about this movie until now. What a classic. If you havent seen "Cool Running". That is a great John Candy movie. Also, if you want to watch a great movie of ppl who are out of place. " City Slickers" with Billy Crystal and Daniel Stern is an amazing one

[@Arthur_King_of_the_Britons]

Bert the Bear was also in a great wilderness thriller called *The Edge* with Anthony Hopkins & Alec Baldwim

[@jillwanlin9558]

Great movie.

[@joycequimby5045]

You two should watch Harry and the Hendersons. It's about the antics of a family who adopt Bigfoot. You'll love it!

[@joecortes7142]

Another classic movie. John Candy was such a beloved actor. RIP John. Gone but never forgotten

[@donglass9072]

Back in the early, 90's when I lived in W. Central Arkansas. I took care of a couple month old black bear cubs who's mamma got killed, for 2 weeks, until DNR came and picked them up. It was a lot of fun!

[@leoda_lion4107]

One of my favorites. Underrated gem. FYI- for bears, if it's black, fight back. Brown, lay down. If it's white, your about to see the light. Never run from a bear, they will think your food.

[@_nauticaldisaster_]

Anyone remember Nothing But Trouble? Only time you'll see John Candy, Dan Aykroyd, Chevy Chase and Tupak Shakur onscreen together

[@marcjohnsen3991]

After Jordan talking about how he hates birds does anyone else think it would be great to see Amber and Jordan react to Alfred Hitchcock's movie "The Birds" from 1963

[@xzonia1]

I think we'd see his hair turn white in real time. If he can watch Cujo and not have nightmares, then I'd say he's ready to watch The Birds.

[@erikagholston6610]

Yes, they need to watch The Birds.

[@jana7514]

OHH YESSS!! 😮 🐦‍⬛🦜🦜

[@renebethke7132]

80s comedy was my childhood. It shaped me ❤

[@charlielemmel311]

The three fir me are uncle buck, great outdoors, and summer rental.

[@bmatth81]

This is one of my favorite classics. Can never go wrong with these two actors. 🥰👏👏👏

[@celeboria]

John Candy was the epitome of a great actor. He took every role he was in, comedy or drama, serious. Man, did he go too soon!

[@ericjohnson2137]

Land of a Thousand Dances by Wilson Picket! Danced at my wedding to that song!!!!

[@adamlone5548]

I'm so glad to see you're watching this. It's easily in my Top 10 comedies of all time. John Candy was the BEST!

[@christinehorror8178]

My dad would rewind the shotgun to the bears butt scene all the time and laugh his butt off lol

[@rockyshields9122]

Summer Rental is another John Candy classic I would recommend. Chevy Chase Funny Farm is another great one.

[@Barnes466]

Two great Canadian actors/comedians! Thanks!!!

[@darinbell2326]

Thank you for watching this! Now, watch another great summer move: My Girl (1991) starring Dan Ackroyd, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Macaulay Culkin.

[@youtubelar1415]

I would advise Amber to have some tissues ready for a certain scene,though.

[@deetorrance3659]

The cabin they stayed in, is at Universal Studios Hollywood. You can see it on the Tram tour. Great family fun movie! You need to watch Summer Rental with John Candy!

[@pepsiccolausa8857]

Another good movie with John candy and Dan ackroid is nothing but trouble. Also starring Chevy chase and demy Moore. I think dan ackroid was the producer or director. He played the old man in the movie. It’s crazy funny movie

[@alishagrossman4080]

I’m not sure if you’ve done it yet, but you guys would love Splash. It’s with John Candy and Tom Hanks. A great classic!

[@rickdeleon7386]

And Eugene Levy!

[@karisat2136]

This was my favorite movie when I was a kid. I loved it! So hilarious! Dan Aykroyd is the best… it’s what I do, it’s what I do! I still say that to this day! 😂

[@athens_1psvr31]

“Splash”. Tom Hanks, John Candy, and more. Romantic Comedy. 👍🏾

[@meagankelly8755]

YES!!!! This is my favorite JC movie!!! I think its because we use to go to our cottage every summer and stuff like in the movie would happen...sooooo good!!!! RIP John Candy❤ Also, the song at the end is called The Land of a Thousand Dances by Wilson Pickett

[@dave131]

"It touched me"!!!! "It's been touching you for 20 years..."

[@debibailey2968]

Love this movie, so funny!! And what a cast!! Wilson Picket singing Land of 1000 Dances at the end! Cherry on top!! The bat scene always kills me! 😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤

[@jeremy2283]

One of my favorite movies as a kid back in the 80s.

[@tracygeier9959]

Love this movie, so glad you guys watched this one! We need to get Gross Point Blank on the watchlist. John Cusack and Dan Akroyd in a comedy/action/romance with one of the best soundtracks!

[@RoGueNavy]

This one and "Summer Rental" are criminally underrated classics!!

[@dominushydra]

The 80s was crazy deep with Legendary comedians

[@rumbleyoungmanrumble5369]

The ending song, Land of a Thousand Dances, is sung by Wilson Pickett (AKA Wicked Wilson Pickett).

[@afternoondelight-i7h]

Another 80s comedy you both might like is Spies Like Us, starring Dan Aykroyd and Chevy Chase. As for Tarantino, there is no way to ease into his movies. Most of us discovered him from watching Pulp Fiction, and i would advise that is also where you two should start. His movies are violent and gory (although sometimes the overuse of violence and gore adds an almost comical touch)but always an interesting and fun ride. There is nothing to fear from Tarantino movies and you will love the ride.

[@davidmc1489]

Heart attack!!!

[@MrFilbot]

I loved Summer Rental as a kid.

[@nobu6273]

This is one of my all time favorite classic movies. Glad y'all watched it!!

[@zoevalk8645]

This movie had a post credit scene with the raccoons... It's HILARIOUS.

[@michaelevans1193]

Did you miss the post credit scene with the raccoons? They had a joke about the bear being bald on both ends. My father had an old saying: “Bare assed bear goes potty in the woods” so he loved that joke.

[@ryanawilson8549]

John Candy was an American treasure even though he was Canadian

[@hazi5961]

One of my favorite Dan Aykroyd movies is "My Stepmother is an Alien". I think you both would enjoy that movie.

[@RG-ds8pd]

The ending dance song is from the great Wilson Pickett, "Land of a 1000 Dances". Also listen to "Midnight Hour" from him.

[@hazardpay8560]

this was one of my all time childhood favorites love to see you two enjoying it :)

[@johnrawlings6610]

You guys got to check out one other summer John Candy movie. Its called Summer Rental,reminded me of me and my family's trips to Ocean City, Maryland years ago!

[@martinwhite3559]

A fish called wanda, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels and There's Something about Mary are a Must. A Fish Called Wanda has 2 Monty Python actors in it. It was my fav movie for a long time.

[@rickdeleon7386]

John Cleese slipping into that hillbilly accent was brilliant!

[@markwilliams6394]

Summer Rental, Wagon's East, Canadian Bacon are some good John Candy movies too.

[@MAGGOT_VOMIT]

Awesome Friday Jay and Amber!! Since ya love the classics, I gotta recommend "Scavenger Hunt (1979)" and the star-studded "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad World" and "Summer Rental" (John Candy)

[@Kiernan5]

Love Scavenger Hunt. Never hear anyone talk about it and haven't seen anyone react to it.

[@rickdeleon7386]

If they do "Scavenger Hunt" I swear I'll be screaming and squawking for them to do "Midnight Madness".

[@thegameoverclub]

A John Candy classic, love this movie so much (I watch it every summer). Other Candy classics you have to watch include "Who's Harry Crumb?" "Summer Rental", and "Canadian Bacon"

[@Karebear_8000]

I agree with the recommendations for Cool Runnings, it’s a fun movie based on real events. And John Candy plays the coach. As for Pulp Fiction, Quentin Tarantino movies are known for a lot of swearing and violence but he doesn’t linger on anything for too long (as far as I can remember) and there’s comedy sprinkled in to make it more palatable..I’m sure you guys will be fine.

[@valerieraymond5853]

John Candy is great in "Summer Rental". Great comedy!

[@ewrekzz7360]

Pulp Fiction is super entertaining, but rough language and dark themes. However, the huge ensemble cast all put in great performances. Such a pop-culture icon you have to see it.

[@Melissa-dv5df]

You just made my day and yes you made me smile. Thank you so much! I have been asking for this for awhile. Growing up every boat was suck my wake. Love to the whole family.

[@ryanm776]

OMG I can't believe you two are reacting to this, so fun, amazing movie 🥰

[@creepypapermultipack]

This was my dad’s favorite movie. Every time they showed the bear’s butt he would absolutely LOSE it 😂 He passed away 30 years ago almost to the day so this was a treat to watch you watch his favorite in his memory ❤

[@kenpaden]

Guys, for your next John Candy film, please do COOL RUNNINGS, its about the 1988 Jamaican bob sled team in the 88 Olympics and its based on a true story, the film came out in 93, I believe, John plays the coach, it is very uplifting, I think you guys woud love it!

[@karendoss6026]

Wilson Pickett sings that song called "Land of A Thousand Dances". A great one!! Love this movie, John Candy is fabulous!!

[@Whitebrowpriest]

Goodday, Jay and Amber! Hope you all are having a great weekend! I HIGHLY recommend y'all watch/react to "Leon: The Professional" (1994). It stars Gary Oldman, Natalie Portman (who played Padme in the Star Wars films), Jean Reno, and Danny Aiello. This is one of the best movies ever made!

[@jimmymcdaniel1713]

Summer rental and cool running are some grate JC movies

[@marieclaudeb.2366]

Trading places is one of my favourite Dan Ackroyd movies ❤ but really anything he did turned out good

[@MrRyguy2112]

Ah what a classic. You missed the end credit scene with the raccoons! Did you hear about Rosie? She's bald at both ends now! 😂

[@AngelaKearney]

For a sweet drama about years of friendship, I recommend “DRIVING MISS DAISY” with Dan Ackroyd, Morgan Freeman, and Jessica Tandy.

[@yepimheretoo2270]

Guarding Tess is another good one with a similar style

[@rulebs]

A few comedies worth checking out, Mrs. Doubtfire, Back to School and Arthur.

[@rickdeleon7386]

Back to School!!!!!!!!

[@BrendaNelson-ll4ls]

The Great Outdoors very funny. Other great movies "Spaceballs" and "Summer Rental" & "Cool Running" with John Candy

[@Matalvatz]

Classic movie! Love your Monday and Friday videos but the Friday ones are so much better after a long week of work. Thanks guys!

[@RoyWright210]

Love the great outdoors and summer rental. Watch them every summer. As a Tarantino fan I will say I think Pulp Fiction is the mildest one of his movies. It is also IMO one of his best. His movies aren’t for PC heavy people who offend easy so just remember that as you go into it. Some great performances in that movie if you can overlook the 5 or so scenes that offend easily offended people

[@xzonia1]

Yeah, they asked what movie would ease them into Tarantino, and I thought well, Pulp Fiction is the easiest one to start with. All his movies are ... difficult for sweet, innocent souls like theirs. They will love the music in it, though, and it is an amazing movie despite the violence and rough scenes (trying to not give anything away).

[@joenichols5242]

I lived there while they filmed this movie. The restaurant was a real thing, it burned down years later. They built the cabin just for the movie and knocked it down after filming. Bass Lake in Oakhurst California just outside Yosemite.

[@josephscally6270]

The next time you want to do a John Candy movie, please consider "Summer Rental" It is one of my favorites of his. I loved this reaction, thank you.

[@dariovalenzuela6400]

Extremely funny movie!! John Candy was such a kind person as well as a great actor. I met him at a LA Kings home game at the Great Western Forum. He was in a hurry and had 9-10 kids with him but was kind enough to take a picture with me. Missed him big time…

[@casketeir]

Summer Rental is also a good one!

[@trainradioable]

This movie brings back nice memories. My older half-sister use to stay with us a few weeks every summer when we were young. She would take me to the movies all the time when she visited, this is one of the movies we watched.

[@whitespider99]

Amber & Jay, here are ome other films with John Candy you should react to: "Stripes" (1981), "Splash" (1984), "Brewster's Millions" (1985), "Summer Rental" (1985), and "Who's Harry Crumb?" (1989).

[@AppStateSpanky]

The last song (dance scene) was "Land of 1000 dances" by "The Wicked" Wilson Pickett! If my memory serves me correct, he recorded it at Fame Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama.

[@jasonbrown2990]

THANK YOU, if you want another John Candy classic, Summer Rental is a lot of fun.

[@Dr.Acula76]

Just tell her they look great!
