Plot Summary
John Candy is bigger, better and more bumbling than ever as the hilarious Harry Crumb - a big-hearted, soft-headed private eye and mix-up master of disguise. When Harry, the last of the great sleuthing Crumbs - and the last person in the firm to ever get an assignment - finally gets a shot at a frontpage kidnapping, it's only because his beady-eyed boss, Eliot Draisen (Jeffrey Jones), doesn't want the case solved. At stake is the gorgeous daughter of multi-millionaire P.J. Downing, a $10 million ransom, and Eliot's hot-to-trot mistress (Annie Potts). Attired in a bizarre array of goofball disguises, from a Hungarian hairdresser to a hefty housewife, Harry is bound, gagged and determined to crack the case and prove that when it comes to crime, he's one Crumb that won't be swept under the carpet.

Classic John Candy!
Since I'm a fan, I love this movie. It's funny, the cast is good, it is comfortable to watch and a lot of laughs. I wish he'd been around longer to let us see his so woefully underestimated talent blossom. He had so much more to show us.
Classic 80s Comedy
Classic 80s John Candy movie with a funny cast of characters. Not as memorable as Uncle Buck or The Great Outdoors but still worth a view.
