Nothing but trouble gets no love. I liked it myself

Nothing but trouble is the worst movie I have ever seen completely

The correct answer is Elwood Blues

How do you like your dogs, folks?!?

Demi Moore was smoking in that movie. Plus John Candy and Chevy Chase. I watched the whole thing again here recently. It's a fun laugh.

I'd would have liked to see him get his irwin Mainway character into a movie.

The only things I remember about Nothing But Trouble were his dick nose and Digital Underground. But I honestly don't think I've ever found Aykroyd funny in anything. And I'm not being a contrarian, I guess his comedy just doesn't do it for me.

Aykroyd has played so many great, legendary comedic characters, it's unreal when you see all these answers. Roman is great, but he reminds me too much of a family member so he's out. Winthorpe is probably his best followed closely by Ray Stantz or Elwood.

Honorable mention goes to Joe Friday in 1987 Dragnet, he and Hanks were fantastic.

The Brazillionairs were highly underrated as well.

I've always thought Dr Detroit was underrated


He's done some great bit parts too, Driving Miss Daisy for one
