About This Movie

Who's Harry Crumb? is a curious blend of slapstick and mystery, showcasing John Candy at his goofy best. The film's pacing has that classic late '80s feel, where the comedy builds on absurd situations. Candy plays Harry, a private investigator so clueless that you can't help but root for him, even if he seems completely out of his depth. The atmosphere is light and silly, with a few clever twists that keep it engaging. The performances from the supporting cast add a nice layer, especially with the interplay between Candy and the more competent characters. It's not groundbreaking, but it’s certainly distinctive for its time, filled with playful humor and a touch of whimsy. Plus, the practical effects, while simple, are charming in their execution.

Released by Universal Pictures in 1989.Filmed in various locations in California.John Candy's comedic style shines through.Mixed reviews, but has a cult following.
