A charming and sometimes super funny comforting classic, The Great Outdoorsis a delightful summer-soaked romp with superb performances from Dan Akroyd and the late John Candy. Breezy familiar elements are at play, as this is primarily a fun escape, though the John Hughes script has zing, fantastic characters, and the film as a whole is a slice of l...
A lot of films feature and are better for having John Candy, but not every one of those flicks breathes Candy's jolliness and innocent complexity throughout every moment. Summer Rental, a simple vacation gone awry vehicle executed to charming perfection by director Carl Reiner, is one of those experiences that's pure John Candy - good clean fun tha...
Funny Farm is a known but not aptly appreciated Chevy Chase vehicle, and that's possibly due to its lightness. The gags aren't dark like those in National Lampoon's Vacation, nor are they raunchy like most Chevy antics in efforts like Fletch and Caddyshack. With the exclusion of a little testicle eating, Funny Farmis for the most part family-friend...
Mark Harmon as gym teacher Freddy Shoop in Summer Schoolis a beachy style icon and the pinnacle of slacker cool. Mr. Shoop's a character who's arguably bigger than the film itself, but the flick as a whole is a harmless, sweet summery gem from director Carl Reiner. Underachieving high school gym teacher Freddy has plans to spend the summer in Hawai...

Like Animal House in the woods, and not far off in terms of overall comedic delight, Up The Creekis a bawdy college romp following a crew of screw-ups from the country's most academically shameful university as they're forced to compete in a collegiate whitewater rafting tournament in order to stay enrolled and graduate. Lead Bob McGraw (Tim Mathes...
In one of the most beloved Nancy Meyers films, and that is saying something, The Parent Trap (1998) tells the story of twin girls (Lindsay Lohan plays the role of both twins) who meet each other for the first time at a Summer camp nearly 12 years after their parents (Dennis Quaid, Natasha Richardson) divorce. At the camp, after first disliking each...
A Goldie and Kurt charmer by the sea that's as lovey-dovey and summery as can be, Overboardis quintessential summer viewing, and a particularly delightful re-watch for someone either reminiscing or just seeking an '80s love story. Super rich snob Joanna Stayton (Goldie Hawn) leads a luxurious life with her husband Grant (Edward Herrmann). Dean Prof...
A most genuine, simple summer camp story from a then up-and-coming director Ivan Reitman, with a young and super charismatic Bill Murray leading as snarky, smooth camp counselor Tripper: Meatballshas the cult classic comedy formula, and a sincere sweetness that more vulgar efforts it inspired don't have. Tripper (Bill Murray) is the head counselor ...
National Lampoon's Vacation doesn't offer lakes or beaches, but it's the original and quintessential family summer vacation gone awry film, for God's sake. Clark Griswold (Chevy Chase) plans a trip to Wally World for good old-fashioned family fun, but it's a dark comic nightmare the whole way. We all know the plot of National Lampoon's Vacation, ri...
