Reviews


75
The Globe and Mail (Toronto) - Unnamed
Though Candy greatly underplays Jack Chester, a beet-red seer-sucker summer renter, his genial humor and collaboration with Reiner make Summer Rental a small pleasure. [12 Aug 1985]
60
The New York Times - Janet Maslin
Summer Rental is a wan but good-natured hot-weather comedy, with a big debt to National Lampoon's Vacation plus a few nice touches of its own.
50
Chicago Tribune - Unnamed
Director Carl Reiner, an old comedy pro, does well enough with the comedy's dumb but funny big-bust and jock-strap jokes. [09 Aug 1985, p.D]
40
TV Guide Magazine - Unnamed
This forced comedy feels too long, although John Candy's unique manner sometimes overcomes Carl Reiner's flat direction.
25
Miami Herald - Bill Cosford
It's hard to figure how the combination of director Carl Reiner, comedian John Candy and a movie with the title Summer Rental could come to nothing. [10 Aug 1985, p.D7]
