John Candy's first leading role was in this 1985 film by Carl Reiner, in which the comic actor played a stressed-out air traffic controller who takes his family on a Florida vacation and has to deal with arrogant, rich jerks. Candy is good in what is almost a straight part (albeit with some jokes), and Reiner keeps the tone in check so his star has an opportunity to show more than one dimension. --Tom Keogh

 summer vacation in the 80s August 22, 2009
alightinsideme (Virginia , USA)
I like john candy. too bad hes not a live today. cuz i think movies need his type of humor. He plays this guy who is so stressed out at work, that his job gives him some much needed time off, so him and his family go to florida, where they get a nice rent house...but its not too long till stuff starts to go crazy. Its one of those movies where something always bad happens to the guy, but its funny. Even on his vacation he cant get much of a break.
His daughter is played by the red head chick thats in the goonies. And this one guy in the movie who gives their family trouble, played Col. Trotman from Rambo. Remember that? That guy. He plays stuck up jerk in this movie, but hes hilarious at it.
Its a predictable movie i guess, especially now since its the 21st century, but you dont watch this movie for the greatest plot, or dialog. Its got a few memorable moments that are just so funny. So i think if you family movies from the 80s, then i think you'll like it. Not to say that its a G rated comedy. Theres a scene where some random lady wants to get someones opinion about her recent boob job. Theres no nudity per say, but you know what i mean.
Its an 80s movie, so what else do you expect? lol
I gave it 3 stars cuz its not the best movie of its kind ever, but its one of those so-so movies that are a lot of fun to watch. John Candy in this movie reminds me of my uncle, so its extra funny for me.
I'd definatly buy this movie if i had the money!

Too many edited scenes November 19, 2008

2 out of 2 found this review helpful
There were too many edited scenes that made this purchase a non value.
1. When driving to the beach, an edited car scene.
2. When arriving at the first beach house, an edited upstairs foyer scene.
3. When in the first beach house, the dog chewing on the sofa leg and the collapse of the sofa.
4. The fabulous boobs scene.
All these scenes were cut out, and when combined, they only add a minute or so longer to the movie.

I loved the movie. John and Dan keeps me in stitches. I think if you are having a bad day just put this movie on it will make you day

Charles W. Chase
The location, cast and story line of Summer Rental makes this movie picturesque and lovable. The movies tension is emphasized with a simple plot of small town snobbery vs. working class graciousness. It is lots of fun and a perfect uplift when moods are blue.
