"'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." | ||||
"This forced comedy feels too long, although John Candy's unique manner sometimes overcomes Carl Reiner's flat direction." | ||||
Summer Rental is the kind of movie that could make you wish you had poison ivy -- at least the scratching would occupy your mind" |
