A hand full of citizens of various occupations and orientations realize the west is not all it is cracked up to be. They decide to go back east, but to do this they will need a skilled and knowledgeable wagon master. Who should stumble in but the best wagon master in the west, James H. Harlow (John Candy). Naturally there is a money grubbing cabal apposed to this move and they will stop at nothing to throat the "Wagons East" plan.
Well designed with a select group of actors that never overplayed their parts. The consumes and scenes here exceptionally good for the comedy. The Indians look like Indians and the floozies look floozy. The film is jam packed with one liners.

Hilarious-and a storyline too.

A hilarious set of characters of which John Candy is but one. Most of them had a story to tell and as they slowly unfold during the pioneers' trip home to the east, they intertwine with several unexpected and rib-tickling twists. If you watch this film with interruptions around you, you will almost certainly not get it. Most of the jokes will have gone and will mean nothing to you when they re-appear in another part of the story later. Well-written if slightly obscure at times, but hilarious...? definitely YES.
What a way to end a great Career

If you thought "Whos Harry Crumb" and "Trains Planes and Automobiles" were good then you will be amazed by John Candy's hilarious bowing out of the movie scene and alas also mother earth. Non stop jokes throughout the film together with a good story line meant the film could still be made good despite Candys passing away half way through. Its a must for your DVD collection.
A total waste of pellicule

Let me say first that I like John Candy. I love most of his movies and I dig his kind of comedy. But this movie is a real nightmare!
It does not happen very often, but when I rented this for the first time I never got further than halfway before I fell asleep. I actually rented the movie again, sure that there had to be other reasons (being tired for instance) and this time I managed to sit it out until the bitter end.
It did not improve!
I can only recommend not to waste any time on this non-movie.
