Auf die Bäume, ihr Affen (1983)
Einem wütenden Stier gleich, kämpft John Bourgignon (John Candy) um die Gunst seines zukünftigen Schwiegervaters Ed Reese, der mit der Wahl seiner Tochter Nancy (Alley Mills) ganz und gar nicht einverstanden ist. John ist ein totaler Chaot, hat keinen festen Job und so greift er zu allen Mitteln, um den berühmten Kongress-Abgeordneten Ed (Pat Hingle) von sich zu überzeugen. Mit seinen Freunden hat er die Idee, einen richtigen Film über seine Hochzeit mit Nancy zu drehen - aber er stößt bei Ed damit nicht auf Gegenliebe. Auf der Suche nach erfolgreicheren Methoden gerät John in einen Strudel wilder Ereignisse. Nach einer wüsten Prügelei landet er im Gefängnis und wird nach einer abenteuerlichen Flucht von einer religiösen Sekte entführt und einer Art Gehirnwäsche unterzogen. Erstaunlicherweise bringen diese Ereignisse John seinem Ziel einen großen Schritt näher...
