Who's Harry Crumb? (1989, PG-13)

Why, oh why, did I have to be tortured with Who's Harry Crumb?  The entire movie was so stupid, so ridiculous...so ludicrous, so inappropriately bad.  It's yet another 80s comedy starring John Candy.  I like most of John Candy's movies, but Who's Harry Crumb? is a waste of a movie, and a waste of my time. 

The plot is simple--a famous teenage girl gets kidnapped and the kidnappers demand money for her ransom, and Harry Crumb, the last in a long line of sleuthers, is the only person up for the job.  But he's really a bumbling clueless guy who we get to watch crack off irritating and dumb jokes throughout (I will admit, I kind of laughed one time in the movie, one time).

This stupid pic practically bombed at the box-office and received harshly negative reviews--it got what it deserved.
