Show Notes

What could possibly go wrong on a relaxing family vacation? In this episode of R Rating, we dive into The Great Outdoors, the beloved 80s comedy that pairs comedy legends John Candy and Dan Aykroyd in one of the decade’s most memorable family comedies.

When Chet Ripley plans a peaceful getaway with his family at a lakeside cabin, his vacation is turned upside down by the surprise arrival of his loud, obnoxious brother-in-law Roman Craig and his family. What follows is a hilarious battle of personalities filled with awkward situations, outrageous antics, and some truly unforgettable comedy moments.

Written by John Hughes, The Great Outdoors combines heart, humor, and classic 80s charm to create a comedy that has stood the test of time.
