If you like John Candy... It's a must-see.

It's an excellent movie, with great laughs, great acting, and... well, great John Candy!

In fact, I insist that you order it, right this moment. You'll not regret it.

John Candy suits HIS style. Great comedian, talented actor... not one of those typical chubbies who, as you so correctly stated, do nothing more than jiggle their fat, acting dim-witted, and predictable... John Candy had a slight darkness to his comedy, which is what set him apart... he was a little more adult-friendly, than the average chubby comedian, whilst still maintaining a suitable-for-kids humour.
