Probably not. But it comes damned close. MONKEYBONE probably takes top honors. Dan Aykroyd, who must have been snorting cocaine nonstop while making this, directs and stars in a movie about a family who goes off course in New Jersey and ends up in the hands of a truly scary inbred family. Aykroyd plays a hanging judge with a diseased nose. John Candy plays a cop as well as a mute, lonesome lady looking for a husband. Some truly awful stuff ensues. I am sorry to say I saw this in a theater. With my wife, no less. Chevy Chase and Demi Moore costar as the ill-fated couple. It was clear by the time this was released (1991) that Chase was on the ropes, acting-wise. Moore's no great shakes in it, either. I always thought of this as an Aykroyd vehicle, much like Bruce Willis' ego-driven HUDSON HAWK. Aykroyd acts/hams up a storm, while everyone else around him seems adrift or bewildered. Stay far, far away.
