Agree. The movie’s plot was predictable. It was obvious that the loser uncle would end up redeeming himself and changing their lives. Plus, some of the jokes and lines were weak (eg “Blasphemy!”).
The movie’s charm and value comes solely from John Candy. Without John Candy’s charisma and comedic talent, this film would’ve been forgotten imo
