You take a pleasant location, a decent premise, hire a comedy stud to direct and cast a bunch of popular late 80s/early 90s comedic talent to star in it.
Bingo. You got yourself a fun, funny movie.
Sure, John Candy, Richard Lewis and James Belushi are all mostly doing their own shtick, but if you're an 80s college kid these guys are gold. And they all get decent lines.
As for being able to see Sean Young and Cybil Shepherd in the same movie, well, it's almost like the casting director was fulfilling my dreams. If you can watch that scene with Cybil on the hotel bed in her black negligee and still feel like you didn't get your money's worth, you are made of stone.
George Hamilton was a nice touch. As was Giancarlo Giannini.
No swearing or nudity, either. Which is a nice surprise every once in a while.
