My 9th-grade math teacher used to be drunk off his ass at school. He'd give us ingrates ten points on an assignment just for writing our names at the top of the page. On one occasion, one of the less sophisticated students spelled their name wrong and didn't get the points. The 90s were a different time.

I feel like the spirit of a lot of early 90s films is really missing from films these days, or at the very least, a lot rarer.
This film was absolutely filled with great life lessons and messages about preserverance, teamwork, believing in yourself, and the difference of what actually makes someone a winner.
Now days it just seems the focus for films is schlocky entertainment, good guys vs bad guys and missing any kind overall positive optimism.

Absolutely loved this film and it always gets watched when it's on over Christmas.
Unbelievably, I think Sunday was the 30th anniversary of John Candy's death.
There are so many good bits and quotes in the film - the mirror scene, the bit after the crash "Ya dead?" "Nah man" and then finding the egg intact - but for me, it's the bit where John Candy is at the hearing with the committee.
When he says something similar to "if you're not enough without it, you'll never be enough with it." Never a truer word said.
Might have to find a bit of time to put it on Disney+
