Product Description
A burnt-out air-traffic controller takes his family to florida and makes a fool of himself. Studio: Paramount Home Video Release Date: 01/17/2006 Starring: John Candy Karen Austin Run time: 87 minutes Rating: Pg Director: Carl Reiner
Amazon.com
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

 Too many edited scenes November 19, 2008
P. Brooks
1 out of 1 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.
 Another John Candy Classic! June 10, 2008
M. Burkert (Butler, PA)
This film is a delightful break from the mindless comedy of today. It is not John Candy at his absolute best, however it is most definately worth watching more than once, especially if you are a John Candy fan. Also it's a wonderful trip back into the 1980's! If you grew up in the 80's like I did, or if your just simply a Candy fan, you'll enjoy this movie. Definately worth the money!
Best Of Candy June 2, 2008
Patricia A. Adams (Hopkinsville, KY USA)
I was so surprized to find my grandson had never seen John Candy in Summer Rental. To me this film was the best of his movies (except for Uncle Buck). His antics are typical Candy but the plot is so subtle you almost laugh right by it. I recommend you get the popcorn out early and prepare for an evening of tear-strained laughter! You'll need your best armor for the hilarious battle of the century! Why is this one so little known? After asking more of my grandchildren, none had heard of it. But they have NOW!! And they love it! Try it---You'll like it! I PROMISE! Thank you, Pat Adams
