Movie Reviews

John Candy?... You mean Stephanie Powers!
Pooter | 12/30/2007
(3 out of 5 stars)

"I just got through watching this movie. It started out slow, so I thought it was going to be a made-for-boring movie but it picked up, was fun to watch and wound up being a good movie.

John Candy's picture appears on the cover of the DVD case but he is not the main character or STAR of the movie. I'm sure he was put on the cover because he has greater Star Recognition than all the others. His character, who comes in halfway through the movie, is just supporting. It IS a pleasant movie to watch."
Better than Troll 2
Noah Chenhalls | Colorado Springs, CO United States | 01/20/2008
(5 out of 5 stars)

"It Seemed Like A Good Idea At The Time is the greatest horrible movie ever made. It "stars" John Candy and Isaac Hayes, but in actuality stars two completely unknown actors, with Isaac Hayes serving as the male lead's sidekick, while John Candy delivers about 45 seconds of total airtime. The film opens with a dated but catchy theme, drops the viewer randomly into the movie, shows absolutely no comprehendible plot except for random zaniness, and ends just as mysteriously as it began. In the end the film works on a comedic level not originally intended. The film is so bad and campy that in a round about way, it achieves its goal: pure comedic gold. It is the stuff of cult movie classics, and for anyone that enjoyed Troll 2, this movie is highly recommended."
I'm Sure It Did
Robert Buchanan | Wisconsin | 02/26/2009
(3 out of 5 stars)

"While it's burdened by sloppy direction, conspicuously bad editing and quite a lot of terrible music, this slapstick farce is frequently very funny as a result of a clever script and the comedic talent of its impressive cast. The best parts of the film are laugh-out-loud funny, but the viewer does have to tolerate more than a few pointless scenes and an irritating pair of animated credit sequences along the way. With a slightly higher budget, a crew as competent as its cast and ten of its most leaden minutes shaved from the running time, this could have been a very good comedy."
