Armed and Dangerous (1986)

Rate: 3
Viewed: 5/13

5/13: Armed and Dangerous has left my head shaking.

Comedy works well when John Candy is teamed up with Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, or Steve Martin. But Eugene Levy? He's the primary reason why the film fell apart. Eugene Levy isn't a funny guy and has never been.

Armed and Dangerous is a disappointing vehicle from Mark Lester given that he directed Class of 1984, Commando, Showdown in Little Tokyo, and Class of 1999. Of course, the glitzy blonde-haired Meg Ryan, whose acting ability can be best described as über awful, can't save it, either. Robert Loggia is too good for this piece of trash. Why does the truck driver repeatedly call John Candy's character "slim"?

All in all, Armed and Dangerous is a dud.
