A Nice Comedy

I have recently re-watched one of John Candy's more interesting films done around the subject of the soap opera. This film stars Candy as a producer of a Soap Opera that ends up being pulled into his own world where he has the opportunity (or misfortune) to interact with the characters that he created to love and hate.This movie is pretty good. I felt that the entertainment value is fair and it is re-watchable. The cast interacts well and there are some very funny moments. I enjoy this film but unfortunately it falls in around the same basic feel that most comedies had at this time so don't expect the spectacular or a film that is gut wrenchingly funny. If you are looking for a film that is enjoyable and fairly pleasing this one has a good feel to it.

Good but a bit goes a long way.

"Delirious" is an amiable comedy starring John Candy. I liked it but also must admit that the story is slight and the concept, though interesting, seems difficult to maintain for 96 minutes.Jack (John Candy) is the writer and producer for a daytime soap opera. However, when he's in an accident, he awakens to find himself living in the soap...and everything is very real. However, he also learns after a while that when he writes on his typewriter, things in this world change. So, he soon manages to become a 'Wolf of Wallstreet'...a rich playboy who is catnip for women and with almost god-like powers! What's next? Well, you can pretty much predict it from the clumsily written meet cute with Janet early in the story.I enjoyed this one but just felt it had difficulty maintaining its momentum. It also was incredibly easy to predict much of what happens as a result of this weird experience...so much so that the finale seemed like a foregone conclusion. A good time-passer but not among Candy's best.
