Description

Neal Page is an advertising executive who just wants to fly home to Chicago to spend Thanksgiving with his family. But all Neal Page gets is misery. Misery named Del Griffith — a loud mouthed, but nevertheless lovable, salesman who leads Neal on a cross-country, wild goose chase that keeps Neal from tasting his turkey. Steve Martin (Neal) and John Candy (Del) are absolutely wonderful as two guys with a knack for making the worst of a bad situation. If it's painful, funny, or just plain crazy, it happens to Neal and Del in "Planes, Trains and Automobiles." Every traveller's nightmare in a comedy-come-true!

Two comedy giants wasted on this awful script

We had to stop watching half way through if we even got that far. Too many F bombs and JCs and GDs. This movie could have been good but it was pretty much just low brow, gross out humor instead of things actually being funny. Just a plain lousy, boring movie.

This is truly a great film

I’d never seen this film before today but suddenly feel like I’ve been watching it since I was 5. John Candy and Steve Martin pull you right into their world in a way that is fresh and familiar. 3 cheers and 5 stars!

Could watch on repeat forever

Steve Martin and John Candy are great in this movie. You can watch it over and over again and the mixture of emotion and comedy is pure joy. It's a timeless classic. John candy is so missed.

Not too shabby.

This was a pretty funny film! Steve Martin and John Candy were brilliant! Their chemistry was awesome! The only problems I had with this movie were random music where there shouldn’t have been, and too many awkward scenes. Still, it’s worth a watch!

It's hard to go wrong when John Candy is listed as the star. Planes, Trains, and Automobiles may have been his funniest release. It's up there with Summer Vacation. I laughed all the way through. Five stars.

One of the best

One of THE all time great comedies. John Candy is just so loveable you just want to give him a big hug and somewhere to stay, it's that kind of character development that really gets you emotionally invested in a great movie. Add on to that the superb part played by Steve Martin and you have one of THE all time classics. Who else laughed their arses off at the hotel scene with sharing the bed? Or the underwear in the sink? How about the classic scene where the car catches fire? Some comedies struggle for 1 memorable moment, this one has them in spades. Bravo 10/10.

AWESOME!

Not all of John Hugh's movies were comedic homeruns but this movie has withstood the test of time and is continually watchable time and time again. It is a Thanksgiving tradition in my home and there are so many subtle moments of sheer magic that was the chemistry of Steve Martin and John Candy together that I know for a certain age group still say to ourselves, "they just don't make them like this anymore". "We were robbed!" "Do you think so???" "We can laugh about it now we're ok". Those of you who have seen this movie know there are countless scenes throughout the movie that are both funny, warm, absurd, and touching in a way that is relatable by almost any audience at any time. This movie never fails to deliver exactly what it promises...to make you feel happier after you watched it like a rememberance of an old friend who never let you down and you could always count on to bring you a smile no matter how bad things were. John Candy and John Hughes, your ability to bring smiles to so many people for so many years will be dearly missed.

Love this movie. But, errm, it's rated R. Not really a 'family' movie ...

This movie is a classic, but hardly a "family movie". Hello, iTunes, it's rated "R"! Is iTunes spearheading a new media movement that disposes of family values altogether? "OK, kids, go get Daddy so we can all sit down together and watch this "R" rated movie!" Sheesh...

I've seen this movie countless times and it still makes me laugh just as much as the first time, if not more. Funny, heartwarming, and deeper than you expect. It keeps getting better with time.

I've been watching this movie since I was 11 years old and it just gets better with age. When you can still laugh at a film you've seen easily over a hundred times, you know it's a classic.

Doesn't get much better than this...

Not only is this one of the best comedies of all time…the movie also has great music. Too many great one-liners to name, but I'll name a few anyway. "Have a point!" "Couple more balls and an extra set of fingers" "People train runs outta Ssssssstubbville" "These aren't uhhh…credit cards" "You got busted!" I can go on and on. Just a fantastic movie.

Great movie with weird ending scene and song !

SinceThe part of Neal and Del went to jail and his wife worried was missing . The ending song most likely for Neal and Del ,not to/from their wife ?
Normally the holiday movie ending with they having a dinner together etc. , but this one was stopped at Del's awkward face ?

"We can laugh about it now cause we're O.K."

For anyone who has done much traveling this movie is way beyond just funny. No matter how many times I see this I still fall down laughing over all of the rental car scenes. So much really funny stuff and yet you find yourself all choked up at the end. Excellent movie!!!

I saw the banner for this movie on the iTunes home page. Dropped in to leave a quick review. This is one of the best movies ever made. I've loved this movie for a long time. John Candy plays a goofy, likable fat guy. Steve Martin plays an uptight but caring businessman. These two just dominate. They're fantastic. John passed away some time ago now, and he is missed.

This is my ultimate favorite movie of all time. You'll laugh, cry, and laugh again! Hughes is a freakin' genius, who has done some really outstanding films including my second favorite movie "Breakfast Club." I agree with another review on the rating. Basically a PG rating except for a handful of f bombs, I recommend for children otherwise.

One of the best holiday movies, ever. Funny, poignant and great lines like "you're going the wrong way!" and "those aren't pillows!". And the best part of all, the late, great John Candy. Classic John Hughes 80's movie that's held up.

Thanksgiving Best!
