Synopsis
Summer Rental (1985) is an American comedy directed by Carl Reiner — watch it online on iFILM. John Candy plays Jack Chester, a frazzled air traffic controller who packs his family into the car for a beach holiday, convinced that sun and sea will fix his nerves.
Nothing goes as planned. The rented house is a wreck, the beach is wall-to-wall strangers, his teenage daughter has already found trouble in the form of a local lifeguard, and a smug sailing champion decides the Chesters are beneath him — then makes that very clear by trying to muscle them out. What begins as a passive vacation slowly becomes a very public grudge match on the water. Candy's gift was making a put-upon everyman genuinely likeable rather than just pathetic, and Reiner gives him enough room to do exactly that. Stream Summer Rental online on iFILM.
