As recent variations of an age-old movie genre go, it is fairly good, but somehow you hope for more from Steve Martin and John Candy.

Mainstream audiences should readily identify with the series of tribulations and woes that befall the Everyman Martin in this good-natured, albeit predictable comedy.
