Review

pretty good flick that came between two superior hughes/candy collaborations – uncle buck and planes, trains, and automobiles. hughes didn’t direct this one, but his touch is evident. it focuses more on the adults than most of his previous films, but it has the younger characters doing their thing too. though this is a nice enough comedy it shows that hughes was really at his best when he was writing and directing.
