Only the Lonely
A wider, as distinguished from broader, role for John Candy: friendly Irish cop, devoted live-at-home son (to crotchety Maureen O'Hara), vaguely unfulfilled bachelor. His acting style does not expand in proportion. It's a stretch for writer-director Chris (Home Alone) Columbus as well. He's striving for something in the neighborhood of Marty, and even pretends for a scene or two to be interested in a woman's (Ally Sheedy's) point of view. The strain shows. Anthony Quinn, James Belushi. 1991.
