If your in the mood for nonsense, this is the movie to watch. Held together with Raymond Burr playing a part completely out normal screen/TV character (Perry Mason, Ironside), the film's storyline unravels at time due to either poor editing (trying to cover too much ground in too short of time) or simply poor script. Actually, this film is a blend of a Readers Digest version of "Soapdish" and a dream. John Candy fits his part well and does his best, the writers went a little overboard in some scenes. The story is about a soap scriptwriter who's ficticious soap world becomes reality after he's involved in a car accident and transported to a hospital, staffed by people, in a town who's citizen are all creations of his in soap scripts. The story is moch too rushed and the viewer has to keep using his own imagination to keep tying things together. All in all, the film is entertaining but lacks the belly laughs one would expect from reading the review on the packaged product.Read full review
John Candy, Mariel Hemingway, Emma Samms and Raymond Burr star in this 1991 comedy. A writer dreams he's in his soap opera and can make things happen. I've always liked this film and glad to have it on dvd that has decent picture and sound, but only the trailer. I miss John and highly recommend this good comedy.
Delirious is a parody of soap operas from the backstage games and just raucous, unpredictable laughter. You have to feel for John Candy who gives his all for the "star" only to be treated like dirt...but then things all change when he gets hit on the head and becomes Delirious. In his mind, the world is a much different place and his typewriter makes it all real. And who hasn't had black bars on 2 and 7? You have to see this. It's a great deal and lots of fun.
Looks like a copy so a bit pricey but plays fine. The case is perfect heavy duty with clips to close. One of my fav Candy flicks and a classic..
