"Square the wagons!"
Screw the critics. I liked this film. It was original. It was humanist. And it is funny. John Candy (1950-1994) was a true North American actor. He was born in Ontario, became famous in the U.S., and died in Mexico while making this film.
He was wonderful in SCTV. I hope in Heaven you finally got your crane shot, Johnny LaRue. We still miss you.
