Fun and at times hilarious, Summer Rental is an 80's film to covet. Everything about it is great but the real scene stealer is Richard Crenna, who has a dining room scene bound to crack anyone up. As you probably know, this ain't no editorial type blog so we'll commence with the summary- Pinewoods Rating System - Three Solid Pinewoods, a summer comedy must....The Horror!!
FILM: 'SUMMER RENTAL,' DIRECTED BY CARL REINER
''SUMMER RENTAL'' is a wan but good-natured hot-weather comedy, with a big debt to ''National Lampoon's Vacation'' plus a few nice touches of its own. John Candy is on familiar territory as the clownish patriarch of an all-American suburban family, but Mr. Candy is fun to watch under any circumstances.
Another classic Rip Torn role as the
goofball captain hook type guy.
THE HORROR!!
