Only The Lonely (1991)

[CaptainFreedom]

Danny Muldoon (John Candy) is a lonely middle aged cop who still lives with his overprotecting mother,Rose (Maureen O'Hara).

Everyday he gets to hear about the horror of being in a relationship by his best friend Sal (James Belushi), yet Danny still dreams of finding the the right woman.

One day he meets up with the sweet but very shy Theresa (Ally Sheedy), who works as a cosmetician at the local funeral home.
The two seems to enjoy each other company and things are going well until Danny's mom Rose realizes this mean she might lose her son to a Sicilian with Polish genes.

Now Danny has to choose between the two women in his life and that is going to be a lot harder than it first looked.

Underrated Candy flick.

All time favs are Summer Rental, The Great Outdoors and Uncle Buck.

I agree.

Summer Rental and Only The Lonely along with Who's Harry Cumb? and Speed Zone!/Cannonball Run 3 are all fine John Candy comedies.
