I think so. Though Tackleberry did the same thing in Police Academy 4 or 5.

If there is a more unique sense of humor than Martin's, I haven't found it. PD had me crying from laughter and caused several people to inquire if they could have some of what I was smoking.
Personal faves: "A Public Apology", "The Sledgehammer: How it Works", "The Paparazzi of Plato", "Side Effects", "How I Joined Mensa", and "A Word From The Words".
What a relief to discover I'm not the only one suffering sledgehammer anxiety.

He has many talents!
Got around to watching Shopgirl last night. I'm not really sure I liked it that much but I can't stop thinking about it. It worked its way under my skin so I'd have to say it is worth a look. It is definitely not a comedy and he is as subdued as I've ever seen him.

Oh.....I'm still waiting for release at a theatre or DVD.
I am Steve Martin fan and I saw all of his movies except for "Shopgirl".

My wife believes Steve Martin made Shopgirl just so he could get naked with Claire Danes. Neither of us liked the movie.
I can't think of a John Candy film that isn't at least watchable. Even the worst are still good because he's in it. My favorites include Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, Uncle Buck, and one I don't think anyone else has mentioned, Summer Rental, though pretty much everything else is on the list, too. He had an amazing gift.
