Who's Harry Crumb?

Harry Crumb, a well-meaning but inept private investigator, is hired by a wealthy family to find their kidnapped daughter, Nikki. Unbeknownst to Harry, the kidnapping is a ruse orchestrated by Nikki herself, who is trying to escape an arranged marriage. Harry, with his unique brand of bumbling, follows a trail of clues that leads him closer to the truth, often in hilariously disastrous ways.

Who's Harry Crumb? received largely negative reviews from critics, who found its humor to be juvenile and predictable. While John Candy's performance was noted, it wasn't enough to salvage the film for most reviewers. Audiences also had a lukewarm reception, contributing to its limited box office success.

• The film relies too heavily on slapstick and gross-out humor.
• John Candy does his best with a weak script, but even his comedic talent can't save the movie.
• The plot is predictable and lacks originality.

Google audience: Audiences found the humor to be hit-or-miss, with many appreciating John Candy's presence but criticizing the overall silliness and lack of a compelling storyline.
