Horror fan 4 John candy was funny. Too bad he wasn't in the entire movie. I recognized Anthony newly from garbage pail kids. I'm anxious to see the spin off find the lady. Tim Treakle Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/25 Full Review r 9 Rather rubbish. 1975's 'It Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time' is supposed to be a comedy but I can't say I laughed, or even really chuckled, once, it's a bit of a slog to sit through; despite a short run time of 90 minutes. A flick seemingly most known for being the second film role of John Candy, who I'm surprised to see got a spin-off from this with co-star Lawrence Dane - neither of them stood out to me to be honest, especially (the eventually great) Candy. Of the other cast members, Stefanie Powers is alright but Anthony Newley's character kinda irritated more than anything else unfortunately. I shall still check out spin-off 'Find the Lady', in hope more than expectation that it'll be better than this - presumably with Candy as lead, it stands more of a chance than it otherwise would to be fair.
