      And Candy himself said that the studio heavily under-promoted the film, so of course it wasnt his fault and yes indeed he deserved better. This is a fun little movie. Not as good as Planes, Trains and Automobiles but it was fun.

    That clip of him talking about his own movie failing is really interesting when compared to talk show appearances today. Can’t imagine some big actor going on TV talking about their film tanking, and especially not so humbly. Speaks to how entertainment media has changed, and Candy’s character.

    True story. In 2005, an acquaintance of mine referred to a small member as a "little fallacy" and did the little gesture John Candy did in the movie when he said that line. I stopped him right there and said, "Is that a 'Who's Harry Crumb?' reference?!". He confirmed it was. Sadly, I was the only person out of 20 or so people in the room that got the reference.

      Only the Lonely is one of Candy and director Chris Columbus’ very best films on both of their individual filmographies but yes it is sadly one of the most overlooked efforts of both men’s work. But it is one of the very best things both of them ever did. It also proved Columbus could make a good romantic dramedy. He tried again with the forgettably bad Nine Months four years later. That was a bad romcom. But OTL is the polar opposite and shows their strengths as actor and filmmaker.

    This is by far the funniest movie I've ever watched. It's brutally funny, there's just no part where you get a break from laughing. You're still laughing at half a dozen previous things, when something else hit you. When I first saw this, it was on home video in the early 90's. The amount of times we had to pause the tape, because we just couldn't cope with how funny it was and needed a moment to take a breath. When he crashes the car he's just bought, that's the hardest I have ever laughed in my life. That tape was paused for well over five minutes. Absolute hidden gem of a movie, nobody comes close to John Candy as a comedy performer.

    John Candy was such an amazing talent. Brilliant on SCTV and someone who could shine in a lead, supporting or minor role.

    I love this channel, because it introduces me to movies that went under the radar for me.
    I feel like this movie got overlooked by Uncle Buck, and other big movies that year like Batman and Ghostbusters II,
    but I am glad I finally watched this movie, as it's a classic, slapstick comedy, and watching anything with John Candy is a pure delight!

    John Candy will always be one of the most important figures in my youth. My VHS of this movie was completely worn out. I admit I haven’t seen this movie in more than a decade but watching this I was literally saying all the dialogue along with the clips because they’re still all there in my brain. That man was a treasure.

    I remember subbing because of your 3 stooges Shemp video, and then unfortunately forgot to check back until the last video or 2. qnyway, happy to see how much your channel has grown. I sent your shemp video to a friend of my moms who used to watch the 3 stooges with me when she would watch me and she loved it!she swore she was the only person who remembered shemp as he's rarely in stooges re runs .

    I saw Harry Crumb in the theater when i was a kid. I thought it was hilarious then and it’s still hilarious now. People HATED this movie when it came out. I could never understand why. The less seriously a movie took itself the more i loved it. Anyway, great review. Really enjoyed this.

    Dug up a copy of this on VHS last year. Watched it a few times since. Absolutely LOVE it. Candy at his best. Reminds me of his classic SCTV characters. Great cast as well. I love Annie Potts and Barry Corbin. The butler is hilarious too.
    RIP John.
    Thanks again for bringing attention to these lost but not forgotten gems. Hats off to you Bro. Keep it up.

    This movie would never be made today because it's very un-pc, that's why I love it.
    The scene where he does the back flip is so funny, because it came out of no where.
