  Jack Gable (John Candy) is a successful writer of soap operas. After being konked on the head, he wakes up in one of his shows, and whatever he writes comes true. Maybe he can now get the girl he loves. Lame, with very few laughs.

Genre: Comedy
Director: Tom Mankiewicz
Cast: Dan Aykroyd, Tom Hanks, Christopher Plummer, Harry Morgan, Alexandra Paul, Jack O'Halloran, Elizabeth Ashley, Dabney Coleman, Kathleen Freeman

  This is a pretty good movie about the stoic Joe Friday (Dan Aykroyd) and his laid back partner (Tom Hanks) and what happens when they're turned loose on L.A. to investigate the "Pagan Murders". Aykroyd gives a clever performance.
