I stumbled upon "Who's Harry Crumb" in 2019, but now that I've sat through it, I do believe that I have watched it once before, perhaps back in the early 1990s. Regardless, this is definitely a very typical late 1980s comedy, and it is most definitely a very John Candy-like comedy. You know, the special unique sense of comedy that he was known and loved for.
"Who's Harry Crumb" is a fun movie, despite it having a somewhat simplistic storyline. But this simple storyline was actually made quite enjoyable by a rather impressive cast ensemble and some great comedy performances.
The movie boasts the performances of the likes as John Candy in the lead, and he does carry the movie quite well. And he is joined by Jeffrey Jones, whom really was well cast for his particular role, and I must admit that I have always found Jeffrey Jones to be enjoyable to watch on the screen. Furthermore, to cement the late 1980s feel, then the cast also includes Tim Thomerson, Barry Corbin, Shawnee Smith and Valri Bromfield.
There are some good laughs in the movie, and I really enjoyed the different roles and characters that John Candy portrayed on the screen, where he was allowed to unfold his comedy talents.
While "Who's Harry Crumb?" is indeed a typical late 1980s comedy through and through, it is one that is well worth watching, especially if you are a fan of John Candy.
