Drums Over Malta

John Candy is never less than likeable, but this is such a bizarre little film, and one in which all the random pieces never really gel together. Others have said it feels like SCTV style sketches tacked together, and that might be a fair comment. Ok overall.

It's just weird and stupid if I'm being honest most of the jokes don't work and the whole film just feels like a random series of events with a few laughs but overall it's not so good

"Going Berserk" is actually one of the funniest Candy films I have ever seen, period. Sure, it's kinda low budget, but it's a non-stop comedic tour de force. There are tons of memorable quotes. For instance, when his soon-to-be father-in-law asks him how much he earns, Candy says "Oh, I pull down anywhere between thirty and...eleven thousand dollars a year, sir." Oh course, it is Candy's delivery that sells it. Just classic stuff. Eugene Levy also turns in a hilarious performance as a sleazy filmmaker. A clip of his horrible low budget movie "Kung Fu U" will have you rolling. So if you are a Candy fan and want to rediscover a forgotten gem, I can't recommend this movie enough.

yeah, it's a bit of a silly film, so if you are looking for an oscar performance, forget this one......but, if you love John Candy's humor, this is a must-see. We lost John Candy before he made enough of his great brand of comedy, and he is only better in one movie: Planes, Trains, & Automobiles (with Steve Martin). Excellent supporting performance by Eugene Levy, perhaps his best work ever as the hot-headed Sal DiPasquale. Also good acting by Richard Libertini, Alley Mills & Pat Hingle. You must see this obscure and out-of-print film if you are a John Candy or Eugene Levy fan.

This movie may not be John's finest, but still beats anything Chris Farley ever portrayed a role as. There is adult funny and young child funny, Farley performed the latter. If you truly want to see an hilarious John and Gene combo catch Armed and Dangerous I was blessed to have caught it way back in the 80s probably a mere 2 or 3 yrs. after it was released, caught it on a paid movie channel since it came with my rent, ah! back in the days when if you dropped a cable box on your big toe you lost the nail, that is if you did not break the toe. Another movie I found funny was A Fine Mess, any way I believe that was the title, it starred Howie Mandell and Ted Danson, Richard Mulligan was in it as well.

Okay, so it is very predictable, but it still will provide a laughable hour and a half! This is one of my all-time favorite movies. John Candy was so funny and this is my favorite film that he has done in his short life! Watch for the phony "Father Knows Best" episode! Dixie Carter is also very awesome!
