Any of you ever seen this John Candy movie? This was John's first movie in a leading role. It's notable for having roles for a lot of his SCTV colleagues (Joe Flaherty, Eugene Levy) and being an official film released by SCTV. There are also appearances by people like Ernie Hudson, Kurtwood Smith, and Pat Hingle. The movie isn't certainly beloved by many fans of Candy or SCTV, but it probably has some fans.
Leonard Maltin Movie Guide Review:
Going Berserk (1983) - BOMB out of 4 stars
"Awesomely inept comedy about the misadventures of a young dolt (Candy) who's set to marry the daughter of a pompous congressman. Only a performer as likable as Candy could survive such a debacle; his SCTV colleagues Flaherty and Levy have little to do."
