John Candy started doing movies in the mid-70s, but it was his time on the Canadian sketch comedy show SCTV that made him a household name. SCTV had several comedic talents who went on to become big names in the 80s, including Rick Moranis, Eugene Levy, Catherine O'Hara and Martin Short.

The breaking the dinner plate bit at 5:34 always cracks me the hell up because he escapes breakage when it falls and then assumes it's unbreakable and breaks it! One thing that gets overlooked is the excellent soundtrack to this movie (something that pretty much all John Hughes movies have). The scene with Buck and the little kid at 17:52 was improvised. That is, the kid was just told to wait there while John Candy did his lines. The reactions from the kid are genuine when he goes off on Mrs Horgarth. We definitely lost one of the greats when John Candy passed away. This and "Planes, Trains and Automobiles" are two of his best, in my opinion.

It was John Candy's improv stories that force you to use your imagination were some of his best bits. It's like standup comedy with setup and punch line. It's a method that doesn't get used in film or TV anymore. For example, instead of showing us the dog drinking blue toilet water and the odd discoloration on tge lawn, Candy's brilliant delivery is very effective. Or saying he has a friend in a crime lab that can analyze toothbrushes is another way to get you to use your imagination.

John Candy’s claim to fame started with Canada’s Second City Television (SCTV). He had a skit called Cooking with Johnny LaRue, which you can find on YT. While he did host SNL, I don’t think he was a regular. John Candy and Tom Hanks worked on two films together: Splash (1984) and Volunteers (1985 ). Speilberg cast him in 1941 (1979) where he worked with John Belushi. He was a favorite of John Hughes and starred in Planes, Trains & Automobiles (1987) with Steve Martin, and The Great Outdoors (1988) with Dan Akroyd. Other films worth seeing are Stripes (1981), which also starred Bill Murray and fellow SCTV alum, Harold Ramis, Disney’s Cool Runnings (1993), and Canadian Bacon (1995). John Candy was one of those rare gifts of comedy.

When he found out she had a tiny trailer, he swapped trailers with her. He said she was the star, not him. It's a wonderful little rom-com and I think you would love it.
