Starring the beloved John Candy alongside Karen Austin, Richard Crenna, John Larroquette, Kerri Green, and Joey Lawrence, the film follows the misadventures of a stressed-out air traffic controller who takes his family on a much-needed vacation, only for things to hilariously go awry. With its light-hearted humor and relatable summer vacation chaos, Summer Rental became a hit at the box office, earning $24.6 million. The film remains a nostalgic favorite, showcasing John Candy’s charm and comedic timing.
