      Gene Siskel - Host: [reviewing "The Great Outdoors"] This picture stinks all the way through. Candy and Aykroyd are marvelous talent. Aykroyd has shown in past pictures that he's a better talent than Candy, who's succeeded only for the first time last year with Steve Martin in "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles". He fails when he's used as just an overweight wind-up toy, which has been his sad state in his career for far too long. It happens again here in "Great Outdoors", very disappointing. Aykroyd has a couple throwaway lines that are funny, but that's it for what is a VERY, very weak film.

      Roger Ebert - Host: I was shocked. You would think that with the names Aykroyd and Candy connected to a movie, you would have something funny, even if you only just shot a documentary of the two of them sitting around during their lunch break.

      Gene Siskel - Host: That's my standard line.

      Roger Ebert - Host: Apparently, they threw away that stuff, and just used whatever they had left. Now, this movie was written and produced by John Hughes, who also made "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles", which is about another odd couple, Candy and Steve Martin.

      Gene Siskel - Host: Right.

      Roger Ebert - Host: Who go through a lot of adventures.

      Gene Siskel - Host: Very good film.

      Roger Ebert - Host: It's almost as if he put all of his good stuff in THAT movie and then took all of the outtakes and put them in this movie. And outtakes of his script, because THIS movie is lame, and dumb, and slow, and no good!

      Gene Siskel - Host: And didn't you know EVERYTHING...

      Roger Ebert - Host: Everything!

      Gene Siskel - Host: ...That was gonna happen?

      Roger Ebert - Host: I was really...

      Gene Siskel - Host: Isn't that amazing. The, the, the big commodities guy from Chicago just doesn't like nature, and then the average guy, the happy-go-lucky chubby guy, he loves animals.

      [sarcastic]

      Gene Siskel - Host: Thanks, we appreciated that.
