Synopsis
Jack Chester (John Candy), an overworked air traffic controller, takes his family on vacation to the beach. Things immediately start to go wrong for the Chesters, and steadily get worse. Jack ends up in a feud with a local yachtsman, and has to race him to regain his pride and family's respect.
Critics' reviews
  • "'Summer Rental' is a wan but good-natured hot-weather comedy, with a big debt to National Lampoon's Vacation plus a few nice touches of its own."
  • "This forced comedy feels too long, although John Candy's unique manner sometimes overcomes Carl Reiner's flat direction."
  • Summer Rental is the kind of movie that could make you wish you had poison ivy -- at least the scratching would occupy your mind"
