Flimsy comedy carried by the likability of John Candy as Jack Gable a third rate script writer on a failing daytime soap opera. After an accident Jack awakens in Ashford Falls the town he created in the TV show with all his characters brought to life. He soon realises his typewriter gives him the ability to write his own destiny and go from Jack Gable the bumbling writer to Jack Gates the wolf of Wall Street. The film has some neat ideas the comedy is a tad hit and misses but John Candy is as reliable as ever pulling this movie from the depths it would have gone without him. Other characters are broad soap archetypes and exist solely as props in the John Candy show. The film is passable and raises a few laughs Raymond Burr and Robert Wagner make funny guest appearances and supporting characters Ty, Dr Kirkwood and Blake all have their moments. An enjoyable bit of comedy fluff 7/10
