Wagons East...

Pack it up y'all. We have a winner.
I thought the scene washing up in the river was pretty funny.
"Huh, cold water usually does the opposite to me."
See, I actually think a lot of it was funny! I just watched it a few months ago after learning it had a 0%. I hadn't seen it at that point in at least a decade, probably more. I also watched it with my partner, who had never seen it so she wasn't blinded by nostalgia for it.
It's not the greatest comedy ever produced or anything, but it's not 0% worthy.
I remember my parents renting it when it came out on VHS. I think the river scene was too much for them and they turned it off at that point.
I think I tried watching it again at some point but didn't really give it a shot. Put it on while doing something else maybe. I'll try one more time for you TheTot.
In a similar vein, I absolutely love John Candy's last film, Canadian Bacon. Every time I rewatch it I go "man I forgot how funny that film is!"
Checking rotten tomatos its not quite as badly panned as Wagons East! (0% critics / 33% audience vs 17% critics / 52% audience) but seems like a good candidate for this thread nonetheless
Brief synopsis:
The president of the United States has successfully ended every war the country is involved in and is facing abysmal odds of re-election, so his team decides to start a second cold war, this time against Canada. John Candy plays a former weapons factory employee now sheriffs deputy in Niagara Falls NY, laid off with his friends due to the plant closure, and seeing the propaganda, they decide sneak across the border to stir trouble in Canada, losing one of their team who's caught and taken for a free mental health evaluation in Ottawa, so now they must take a trans-canadian road trip to "save" her
Wait, people don't like that movie?
That's like not liking Tommy Boy. Or Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid
Preaching to the choir!
