Film 64/365, Day 66/365 – The Great Outdoors

This was one of my favourite films as a child and whilst it is still a good family film it sadly isn’t quite as good as I remember it.  It is still worth watching as John Candy and Dan Aykroyd are still two of the great comedic actors and this is a real situation comedy and the situations are all very good, however the raccoons are my personal highlights.

Synopsis: Chet Ripley has taken his family to the family cabin by the lake for a bit of bonding and outdoors fun.  He didn’t count on his obnoxious brother-in-law Roman Craig to show up uninvited with his family.  Reluctantly Chet allows his Roman and his family to stay.  If Chet and his family can put up with their guests they may struggle with the raccoons and the balded bear!
