John-Candy Movie Reviews

This was one of the first DVDs I got, for a reason. I love this movie -- it has energy and panache, not to mention some absolutely fabulous music. As I'm sure some blurb somewhere on this Amazon page mentions, the story concerns two blues-singing brothers who are trying to raise money for a good cause. Along the way, they interact with a ton of interesting people (including Carrie Fisher, Frank Oz, Aretha Franklin, and others), perform a lot of great blues, and destroy a lot of property. Mayhem and hilarity seem to thicken around the two leads, whose chemistry is undeniable. The movie feels nothing like some SNL folks' movies can feel -- it's a movie, with depth. I had no idea the Blues Brothers were a sketch originally!

Since I probably just told you a bunch of stuff you already knew, I'll step along to the DVD itself. Those who already own the movie on VHS might want to consider this addition to their DVD library -- the goodies are lots of fun, including an extensive "making of" feature.

The Blues Brothers is a true classic movie, one of the few SNL movies that is actually a good story. Joliet Jake is recently released from prison and picked up by his brother Elwood. The two discover that the orphanage they grew up in is going to be sold to the Board of Education unless they can raise $5,000 to give to the State Assesors office. The Blues Brothers try to get the money by putting their band back together and doing a few gigs. Along the way, they anger the Illinois State Police, the Illinois Nazi Party, the owner of Bob's Country Bunker, and a band from Nashville, the Good Ole Boys. This movie is great from beginning to end. The musical numbers are all great including Jake's revelation in the church, Ray Charles singing Shake Your Tail Feather, Aretha Franklin singing in her soul food diner, the peformance in Bob's Country Bunker, and finally the concert at the end including two of their best songs. As well, there is action galore from Elwood jumping a bridge with their 1974 Dodge Sedan to their chaotic ride through a crowded mall to the police chase at the end through the streets of Chicago( especially Lower Wacker Drive) and the chase up the staircase to the Assessor's office. The Blues Brothers has something for everybody and should not be missed.

The Blues Brothers are played to perfection by John Belushi as Jake and Dan Aykroyd as Elwood. The two actors are hysterical together throughout as they anger just about everybody in the city of Chicago. There are far too many lines to mention, but it is obvious that they had fun making this movie. There are plenty of musical cameos also including Cab Calloway, James Brown as a preacher, Aretha Franklin as the owner of a Soul Food diner, Ray Charles as the owner of music store, and John Lee Hooker as a street peformer on Maxwell Street. The film also stars Carrie Fisher, John Candy, Kathleen Freeman, Henry Gibson, and many more. Also look out for a very funny cameo by Frank Oz and a short appearance by Steven Spielberg. Also worth mentioning is the Blues Brothers band including Matt "Guitar" Murphy, Donald "Duck" Dunn, Murphy Dunne, "Blue Lou" Marini, Tom "Bones" Malone, Steve "The Colonel" Cropper, Alan Rubin, and Willy "Two Bits" Hall. The Collector's Edition DVD offers widescreen presentation, the original theatrical trailer, a making of documentary with interviews with the cast and crew, and footage not seen since the original release in 1980. This is a great movie that all viewers will find something to like in it. Do not miss this classic!

This movie still has me in stitches after all these years. I love the musical numbers with Ray Charles, James Brown and Aretha Franklin. The chase scenes are an all time classic, right up there with "Bullitt" and "The French Connection". It's a classic comedy that was not appreciated when it came out the first time in 1980, but it grew as a cult classic!

This movie kick ass. Im 15 and i still watch this movie with my brother (3). Someone was a freeken genius. Great movie for kids no dought. And all you haters out there how think i'm too old to watch this movie, shove it.

As rooster-minstrel Allan-a-Dale (voiced by the late country singer Roger Miller) explains in the introductory sequence, the animal kingdom has a slightly different take on the story of Robin Hood than we humans do. And how wonderfully Disney has told it! What *would* wily Robin be but a red fox? Or Little John but a big, good-natured bear? Or King Richard and Prince John but a pair of rival lion brothers (in a fascinating foreshadowing of "The Lion King")? The voice talents are especially fine--Brian Bedford as Robin, Phil Harris as Little John, Andy Devine as Friar Tuck (a badger), Peter Ustinov as Prince John, Terry-Thomas as his sinister snake-advisor Sir Hiss, Monica Evans as Maid Marian, Carole Shelley as her lady-in-waiting Kluckie (a hen), Pat Buttram as the Sheriff of Nottingham (a wolf), George Lindsey and Ken Curtis as his vulture-deputies Trigger and Nutsy. Though somewhat more inclined to slapstick than most Disney animation, it will charm even those who don't care for that kind of humor (and being one myself I can speak with authority): the wild chase that ends the shooting match at Nottingham Fair will have you rolling on the floor. There's also plenty of intrigue, swashbuckling adventure, and clever scheming, and--as in any version of this legend--ample opportunity to start a discussion with your kids about right and wrong. One of my favorite cartoon features and one that should find favor with all ages.

I LOVE this movie , And I'm 31 years old!

I wouldn't consider this a Disney classic in anyway, but I did enjoy watching it quite a bit. The cartoon has a lot going for it. The good guys are likable. Basil and Dr. Dawson are an enjoyable duo to watch, and their dog Toby is extremely lovable (perhaps the cutest Disney character of all time). Another thing going for it is that it is relatively smart making a parady of Sherlock Holmes. Finally, it is extremely well paced with an element of mystery added to it to keep the audience interested and the story moving forward smoothly. However, it is lacking in many aspects that keeps it from earning a five star and the title of a Disney Classic. First of all, the bad guys are disgusting. Ratigan and his cat are extremely disturbing, even for cartoons (I hate rats and fat cats). Secondly, it doesn't have any memorable musical scores. Nothing like Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, etc. Thirdly, the plot is somewhat silly. It involves Ratigan trying to make a robot copy of the Queen. Finally, it is lacking scope and importance. The whole movie occurs in the mouse world and there is no interaction with humans like in the Rescuers.

I HIGHLY recomend watching Disney's 26th animated movie The Great Mouse Detective! Finally released on DVD, this is my fvorite Disney movie! It is a funny, entertaining, suspenceful movie about Basil of Baker Street, the Great Mouse Detective. In the movie, a popular toymaker is kidnapped from his toyshop by a peg-legged bat. The toymaker's daughter, Olivia Flavisham, sets out to fid the famous detective Basil. On the way she she meets Dr. Dawson. Dawson helpes her on her way to the find the detective. When they find the detective at 122 1/2 Baker Street, Basil is reluctant to help her find her father. Then basil realizes that the kidnapper is under the employey of his enemy, the infamous Professeur Ratigan. Although they dont know it yet, all of mousedom is endangered! With the help of Toby the dog they set off on their exiting adventure which climaxes in the inner clockworks of Big Ben towering over the streets of London. Will Basil be able to save mousedom? With the voices of Vincent Price, Barrie Ingham, Suzanne Polloatschk, Val Bettin, Alan Young, Candy Candido, and with music by Heneri Mancini. The Great Mouse Detective is also the first animated movie to use computer animation (used in the clock scene). I HIGHLY RECOMEND THE GREAT MOUSE DETECTIVE!!!!

This is one of my favorite Disney movies! Dawson, the narrator, later becomes the friend of the famous detective Basil of Baker Street. Basil's archenemy Professor Ratigan mousennapes a toymaker named Flaversham. The toymaker's daughter Olivia then truns to Basil for help. The chase for Ratigan ends up at a heart-pounding battle to the top of Big Ben. I still love to watch this movie. With the superb voice talents of Vincent Price (Ratigan), it is a charming movie. It will also delight those who like Sherlock Holmes and Watson.

This movie's great! I'm doing my drama exam this week at school and we are doing a scene from The Little Shop of Horrors. I'm in a group of girls (i'm a girl as well) but most of them are very stubborn and won't play the male part. So i said i'd do it coz i love anything to do with drama. I got to play Orin, the sadistic dentist and i really enjoyed it playing that part. Itz fun playing evil characters and i'm glad my friends didn't want to do it. Even though he's a baddie, he really makes me laugh, especially in that song, Dentist (as well as the scene with Bill Murray). I find it weird that i liked that song coz i despise going 2 the dentist. I haven't seen the whole movie but from what i've seen, it's brill! It's about this nerdy but sweet florist called Seymour (ahhh) who fancies his co-worker Audrey (a girl with a strange but sweet wispy voice) who's dating that crazy dentist who is abusive towards her and treats her badly. Seymour reckons that the only way to make her fall in love with him is because of this amazing plant he gets (who he calls Audrey Two). BUT this plant doesn't feed on water, it feeds on human blood. Audrey Two begins growing, talking and begs for more than just Seymour cutting himself. He bumps off Orin (yeah that was my scene, i had to act completely insane) and his boss. It's a brilliant movie and i'm getting the DVD of it this summer, i can't wait! The acting in it is great (round of applause for Steve Martin especially) and I hope a lot of people will like it, watch it, you won't regret it!
(Personally, i don't mind that the original ending didn't go very well at the start coz i think it would be sad to see such a happy movie go so wrong at the end. I'd like to have seen it though).
My favourite songs from the movie are Downtown, Dentist and Suddenly Seymour.
Oh please hope i do well in my exam!

Later: I'm just editing my review, I got my DVD in July. It was brilliant. Little Shop of Horrors is my favourite film of all time, I love it! The special features were great (shame they took away original ending, I heard they might be putting it back, in colour!), the outtakes were hysterically funny and Behind the Scenes was great (although I would have like to have seen Steve Martin interviewed). My drama exam was fine! My teacher thought it was very funny. I was hoping we'd do it for our school play, but we're not :( I would audition for Orin Scrivello D.D.S definitely even though i'm a girl, I can do the voice! But readers, you have to buy this film coz even though I only found about it back in May when my teacher chose it for our topic, itz the best I've ever seen! Go ahead! Buy it and you will never ever regret it!
You know something, I was at the dentist the other day getting a 'long slow root canal' done! Honestly, ow itz so painful! Thank God my dentist was normal!

"Little Shop of Horrors" is a movie like no other. You're slyly drawn in by a cute little musical that progressivley gets more and more "weiEIeiEIerrRRrd" (to quote Wink the radio guy, played by John Candy.)

Candy, Jim Belushi, Steve Martin and Christopher Guest show up here to add their talents to outstanding performances by Rick Moranis and Ellen Greene.

The music is great! I'm not a huge fan of 50's and 60's style do-wop stuff, but if your feet can stay still during the tunes in this show, forget it--you're dead already and it doesn't matter.

The arrangements are excellent. The Greek Chorus Girls add style, panache and polish as well as harmony.

One of my favorite things about this film is finding someone who hasn't seen it yet and sharing it with them. They always say, "When was this made? How could I not hear about this movie? It's great!"

The DVD version is excellent. I've owned the VHS for years, but the DVD sound and picture are far superior. The documentary on the making of the film is a nice extra and makes you appreciate what you see that much more.

My confession? I've probably watched this movie thirty or more times. If you ask to watch it again tonight, would I do it? You bet.

Just buy it. You won't be sorry. The DVD lets you show off your home theater system with hardly an explosion. It's a gem.

Little Shop of Horrors. Although pieces of the movie omit wonderful little songs ("Call Back in the Morning" "Mushnik and Son" "Finale/Don't Feed the Plants," etc), it does its job at having tongue-in-cheek humor. As a matter of fact, my High School's production of the play finished up last night..I played the role of Crystal. Excellent movie!

John Candy is Uncle Buck. Directed by John Hughes this movie is anything but boring. Buck's sister in law just found out that her father who lives out of town just had a heart attack. Desperately needing a baby sitter for their three young kids, (one of which is Macaulay Culkin from Home Alone), they turn to Buck, a party going guy, who at the age of 40 is still un-employed, un-married and un-knowing in the art of raising children. But "no problem" he thinks...."kids are easy". Wrong, what he finds is a house full of responsibility with a rebellious teen to take care of as well as her younger brother and sister. Meanwhile his girlfriend keeps more pressure on him about the two of them getting married, despite the fact that Buck just doesn't want to settle down. Uncle Buck is a classic comedy thats just plain fun to watch so don't miss it.

I give this movie only 4 stars despite its appeal to me due to the fact that I give only movies that overly hilarious from beginning to end a 5 star rating. Uncle Buck though does have a few parts that are without comic relief, but that doesn't stop the story or that particular part of the movie from being entertaining. Its still a great family comedy classic.

Uncle Buck is not your everyday sort of hero. He doesn't look like a hero, and he doesn't act much like a hero. But in his own strange, bizarre way, he comes into the life of his brother's family and fixes all the problems, just like a hero would.

He's really loveable, even in all his rudeness.

This is a really funny movie. We all love it, from the younger kids to the adults in the family.

After over 10 years, I still never get tired of watching this movie and this is one of the few movies that me and my family talk about, the movie is about Cindy's aunt calling her in the middle of the night saying that her father suffered a heart attack so they need to leave for an emergency, but there's a problem, they don't have anybody to watch the kids, Cindy's husband Bob suggested Marcie who lives across the street but Cindy refused and decides that the Nevilles should take care of the kids, but the Nevilles weren't available then they decide to get Bob's brother Buck (the titled character and Cindy actually refused cause she didn't like Buck's carefree lifestyle of partying and gambling).
Then Uncle Buck gets woken up by the phone call and Bob tells Buck that they need somebody to watch the kids then Buck is honored to do so, there's a hilarious scene when Uncle Buck knocks on their door but it turns out to be the house across the street and the neighbor gets woken up, the parents leave is Uncle Buck checks out the antique plates and accidentally drops one but it didn't break but he bangs it on the piano but it breaks!!

There's a hilarious scene when Uncle Buck was cooking breakfast and singing 'Tweedle Dee' and his rebelious teenage niece Tia shows up in a bad mood and she despises Uncle Buck but Miles and Maizy (Tia's younger brother and sister) likes him and he takes the kids to school and the car backfires, later on there's a hilarious scene when Uncle Buck picks up Tia, Tia is hanging out with her womanizing boyfriend Bug and the car again backfires, Bug askes Uncle Buck 'You ever hear of a tune-up, hee hee hee' Buck: 'Hee Hee Hee, you ever hear of a ritual killing, hee hee hee' Bug: 'I don't get it' Buck: 'You ever gnaw on her face like that again and you'll be one, hee hee hee' and takes off with the door open with Bug nearby.

There's another classic scene during Miles's birthday when Uncle Buck makes them a giant pancake and the children's mother orders a clown to show up at Mile's birthday party but the clown shows up dead drunk and Uncle Buck wasn't happy about it and tells him to leave but the clown cusses at Uncle Buck and he punches the clown in the nose.

Then Uncle Buck goes out and picks up Tia and tries to scare Bug with an ax is another scene, 'Wait a minute, Bug, Gnat, is there a similararity going on around here, whoo I guess there is'.

Then Uncle Buck goes to Maizy's conference (which was scheduled with the mother) and the assistant principal has a huge wart on her nose and she introduces her, Buck: Buck's Wart Russell, not the wart, I'm the wart and the assistant principal claims that she sees a bad egg when she looks at Maizy and Uncle Buck gets onto her by telling her that she's so mean to everybody and gets onto to her and she feels hurt by it, another classic moment.

Later on that night, Uncle Buck's girlfriend Chanice calls and askes for Buck but Tia lied to Chanice by telling her that Uncle Buck was cheating on her then the next morning, Marcie shows up at the rescidence wanting to dance with Uncle Buck then Chanice shows up and she thinks that Uncle Buck is cheating on her and cusses him out.

Then Uncle Buck announces that he's going to the racetrack the following day but ends up not going cause Tia was going to Bug's party but Uncle Buck refused to let Tia go to it so he needed to find her, at Bug's house Uncle Buck walks on the stairs with a bunch of people around it and only to find that the girl that was in Bug's room wasn't Tia then Uncle Buck finds Tia all heartbroken and she apologizes Uncle Buck for all the pain she put him through and he forgives her and Tia askes Uncle Buck if he did anything to Bug, sure enough he put Bug inside the trunk and Uncle Buck askes Bug to apologize and Bug cusses at Uncle Buck and he tells Bug that he is an amatuer dentist and they leave Bug stranded and again, he cusses at Bug and he got what was coming to him, another classic scene and to bad that network television had to edit out that part.

Then Tia now respects Uncle Buck and Chanice gave Uncle Buck another chance cause Tia confessed to what she told Chanice and Mom and Dad came home and Cindy's father survived the heart attack and they became a better family from that point on.

I think that Uncle Buck is one of the best comedies of all time and it's especially one of John Candy's best performances and my only gripe about this movie is the constant swearing (for a PG movie, it should've been PG-13 and some of the sexual content like that one scene they showed inside the school when a guy grabs a girl's buttocks or when Bug was down on that other girl) but overall it's a classic movie and it's better than half of the comedies that's around today.

Unlike many of the untalented reviewers who have reviewed this movie I have this movie on Laser Disk, that's right Laser Disk.

Instead of watching this movie in stereo, I watched in Dolby Digital.

Vanilla Ice should get an 100 Oscar if no talents like Russell Crow and Tom Hanks have Oscars. He is the greates crossover talent in the Universe.

I had the privillage to watch the amazing fight scene in the movie in slow motion unlike the other reviewer's who had to watch it on vhs.

His rapping is unparalled on Laser Disk, I've seen this movie on vhs and it's insulting. It's like watching a movie that on vcd then watching in dvd. There is no comparison.

Let me quote the genius that is "Vanilla Ice"; "Drop the Zero and get with the Hero". Not even Arnold Schwarzenneger could come up with a better one liner (actually he can't that would mean he has talent like Jean Claude Van Damn).

Everytime I need inspiration I watch "Cool as Ice" and so should you. How inpirational is it well let me tell you? I was in NYC and saw an interview of Eminem and here's how it went.

Interviewer: Who inspired you to get into the rap game?

Eminem: Ah there's some many people who told me I couldn't rap, and at first I couldn't ya know, but I keeped watching "Vanilla Ice" starring in "Cool as Ice" and it inspired me.

Interviewer: Really?
Eminem: You know I can't dance like him but who can!

If it wasn't for "Vanilla Ice" we wouldn't have Eminem, so you could call him "Vanilla Ice the Return" or just "VI 2"

This movie is quite possibly the finest work of art produced in the 1990's. Rob "Vanilla Ice" Van Winkle gives a stunning effort as rebel biker Johnny. Ice rips off several classic one liners en route to one of the most astonishing performances that this film critic has ever seen.

The story revolves around Johnny's romance with Kathy (played by Kristin Minter) and a plot by evil men to bring the pain down upon her poor father. The suspense will have you at the edge of your seat while the romance between the two young lovers is sure to bring a hot fire to your loins.

The film's most touching moment comes when Johnny and Kathy's younger brother have a heart to heart exchange in front of the young boy's home. The bond between the two is truly a sight to behold.

I have seen a lot of movies in my day, but few match up to "Cool as Ice". If you haven't already had the pleasure of seeing this epic piece of cinema for yourself then you are truly missing out. Run on out and buy yourself a copy of "Cool as Ice" because hey, you deserve it.
