The Great Outdoors PG 1988 |

Pretty In Pink's Howard Deutch directs John Candy and Dan Aykroyd in this comedy about a father who plans a relaxing family vacation in the woods, but his obnoxious brother-in-law and his maladjusted brood blast in to spend the week with them, resulting in some hilarious hijinks - especially when a very large bear decides to pay a visit. Writer John Hughes also penned The Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller's Day Off and Uncle Buck. Oscar nominated actress Annette Bening (American Beauty) makes her film debut as Dan Aykroyd's cranky wife.
