To its credit, "Delirious" has a sweet affability, even at its most predictable.

While there are some pleasant, even funny, moments, many of the gags are of the "slapschtick" variety, with much too much slap and no real memorable schtick.

Often... the script and the all-thumbs direction of Tom Mankiewicz leave Candy and the rest of the cast (Mariel Hemingway, Emma Samms, David Rasche, Raymond Burr) stranded.

Despite the Candy topping, "Delirious" ain't delicious.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jun 29, 2021

It's a movie about a nightmare, but instead of turning into some kind of bad dream itself, it just turns into a bad movie.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 16, 2007

Delirious is a witless comedy about soap operas in which the estimable John Candy mugs uncomfortably through a desperately unfunny script with a plot as tediously convoluted as those it spoofs.

| Oct 4, 2006

Old jokes are piled on top of incomprehensible plot development until you feel truly delirious.

The film has slow stretches, but Mr. Candy is jaunty enough to keep the mood good-humored.

Though clever, Delirious is so light it just keeps threatening to blow away. Candy, who is fine at the center of this, is just not powerful enough to pull it all into him.
