Title: Ferris Bueller Works The Graveyard Shift At Target
Review: John Hughes must have had real confidence in his script that he had to dole it off to someone else to direct. This flick is lame to the extreme. The material is razor thin and even at 83 minutes it feels like an eternity. Frank Whaley, a genial young actor from the late Eighties and early Nineties whom I usually like,comes off as somewhat obnoxious. High points are a luscious young Jennifer Connelly who would be hot reading the phone book, William Forsythe as the redneck maintenance supervisor, and John Candy as the Target personnel director who almost hires Whaley as an executive instead of as a minimum wage clean-up boy. Candy wasn't always the most discriminating in choosing his parts but he was smart enough to take his name off the credits of this turkey. To quote Herman's Hermits a must to avoid.
