Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Better than Troll 2
It Seemed Like A Good Idea At The Time is the greatest horrible movie ever made. It "stars" John Candy and Isaac Hayes, but in actuality stars two completely unknown actors, with Isaac Hayes serving as the male lead's sidekick, while John Candy delivers about 45 seconds of total airtime. The film opens with a dated but catchy theme, drops the viewer randomly into the movie, shows absolutely no comprehendible plot except for random zaniness, and ends just as mysteriously as it began. In the end the film works on a comedic level not originally intended. The film is so bad and campy that in a round about way, it achieves its goal: pure comedic gold. It is the stuff of cult movie classics, and for anyone that enjoyed Troll 2, this movie is highly recommended.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - John Candy?... You mean Stephanie Powers!
I just got through watching this movie. It started out slow, so I thought it was going to be a made-for-boring movie but it picked up, was fun to watch and wound up being a good movie.
John Candy's picture appears on the cover of the DVD case but he is not the main character or STAR of the movie. I'm sure he was put on the cover because he has greater Star Recognition than all the others. His character, who comes in halfway through the movie, is just supporting. It IS a pleasant movie to watch.
