Wagons East! (1994)

Wagons East!: Directed by Peter Markle. With Joe Bays, Abraham Benrubi, Jill Boyd, John Candy. In the 1860s Wild West, a ragged bunch of misfit settlers decides they cannot stand living in their current situation and they hire a grizzled cowboy to take them on a journey back East to their hometowns.

“the movie says on the box, and at the beggining of the credits, u0026quot;Dedicated to the memory of John Candyu0026quot;. I must say John Candy was probably my favorite comedian, and still is. This movie was a little under rated, but it was still one of his lesser films. Sadly he passed away during filming, you see he was in it until the end of the film, his character was not just dropped, I think they probably were going to do some more editing to the film to make it better, but he passed away so they had to produce what they had, a somewhat unfinished film. Towards the end of his career his comedies really started going downhill. Although I liked Canadian Bacon, Harry Crumb, Wagons East, and films like these were just a bit, well stupid. Like I said Wagons East wasnu0026#39;t all that bad, but itu0026#39;s nothing compared to his best-planes trains and automobiles, or Uncle Buck(Iu0026#39;ve commented on both of those as well). I just wish when planes and trains 20th anniversary finally comes up, theyu0026#39;ll re-release it on DVD with forgotten scenes, and a special dedication video to John Candy, same with Uncle Buck. John Candy was a great and itu0026#39;s too bad this was dedicated to his memory, because I think if heu0026#39;s watching down on us, heu0026#39;s as sad as I am. Anyway, the plot of the movie is After a town by the name of Prosperity, decides the west isnu0026#39;t what itu0026#39;s cracked up to be, they decide to move back east. They find a Wagon master named Harlow(Candy) to lead them back. They must survive Indians, starvation/no water,hired guns, and more,as the comedy builds up to an okay climax. 2 and a half stars out of 5, itu0026#39;s a good movie to rent out, but while youu0026#39;re at it, rent out some of Candyu0026#39;s best films too. I also dedicate this comment,to the memory of John Candy”
