Do you think that Rick Moranis was miscast?

I thought Moranis was great in his role. In fact, this film has endured for so long, in large part, because
everyone
in it was perfectly cast. The writing in this film left a lot to be desired but the acting, for what the director intended the film to be, was excellent.

Michael pare was the one who was miscast. he may look the part; but, when he opened his mouth he killed any notion of art. he was such a limited actor I never have understood how he got the few lead roles he had. Moranis is a darn good actor, as he regularly demonstrated on SCTV.
Pare has always been the weak link in the film, for me and he has no chemistry with either Diane Lane or Deborah Van Valkenburgh. The film needed a more charismatic lead actor.

At a sideways glance, he appears miscast at first.
But when you watch the film, it becomes apparent that he is fully committing to the role 110% and mostly succeeds. It's actually fascinating to see a role that would never be played by Rick Moranis, successfully portrayed by Rick Moranis.
The film has its head-hanging moments of shame, but Moranis emerges triumpant.

Oh no. I loved Moranis in that movie. Whatever happened to that guy? I was gonna make a post about if anyone knew whatever happened to Rick Moranis cus I'd watched him in a family movie about 2 kod's football teams battling it out.
And after a certain time period, dude disappeared from Hollywood movies.
