It Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time (1975)

I Like John Candy But Not This

I was born in 1972. I grew up with 1970s humor, I still use a little bit of it and some of it is still funny to me today but this film is not. This is one of those comedies that falls flat. It's very predictable humor so that makes it unfunny: you know the skunk will spray before it does, you know he's going to get that stuff on him before he does - things like that. Its comedy that is over done, it's been done over and over before this film.

Watch this film for John Candy, Stephanie Powers and Issac Hayes ONLY... if you care to give this one a try someday. Go into this one with zero expectations because that's all that's here zero. It really is a shame, I like John Candy.
