Review of The Great Outdoors (1988) by Helen H — 23 Dec 2013
The more I think about The Great Outdoors, more and more of its poor qualities come to mind, while anything positive starts disappearing. The comedy scenes were fun enough to watch, even though not necessarily funny.
The attempted dramatic scenes were pure junk, and I picked up a habit of just walking away when they began. The love story of the oldest son could have been ditched completely. John Candy not being the annoying one through me off, but he fit his role towards the end.
The movie is 80% junk, the other 20% is semi- feel good moments-.
