Who's Harry Crumb? (1989)
A blah movie that isn't funny and that is a viewer's waste of time.
On a scale of 1-10, I would rate this John Candy film minus-zero. It is a terrible movie. I have always been a John Candy fan, but this script sounds like it was written by a high school student who flunked English and drama, not to mention comedy. The plot is ridiculous, the script has no meaning, and I wish Candy had never made it. A comedy should have some logic to it, even if the logic is thin, but this script doesn't come close to making the grade. I have reviewed over 500 movies for magazines and newspapers, and 'Who's Harry Crumb?' ranks near the top of the list with such losers as 'Spies Like Us' and 'Assault on Paradise'. It doesn't come near the comedy that Candy generated in 'Uncle Buck,' 'Planes, Trains and Automobiles' and 'The Big Outdoors.' Don't waste your time watching this dud.
