I'll preface my comments by saying that my wife and I are big fans of John Candy. And although Find the Lady is no Uncle Buck or Planes Trains and Automobiles, it is a treat to recognize many of his classic mannerisms. John plays a young bumbling "Gumshoe" investigating a kidnapping case with a more seasoned partner.
Mickey Rooney is another treat in this movie. I guess perhaps he needed the work to keep up with his alimony obligations? He didn't phone it in here, he puts a lot into his character. And his running comments about working with mobster Bugsy Siegel put a smile of my face.
While it's not the most memorable movie for Mr. Candy it is fun to see him in an earlier role before he became a star.
