Reviews
Planes, Trains and Automobiles has become a cult classic and it is easy to see why- featuring great performances by the ever-dependable Steve Martin and the tragically departed John Candy. This on the road adventure film is funny, poignant and entertaining all at once. Show me one person who wouldn't tear up at the last scene. John Hughes was a legendary filmmaker, and this is one of his finest.
Planes, Trains and Automobiles is, without a doubt, the best odd-couple cross-country-trip Thanksgiving-themed movie around. Steve Martin and John Candy work very well as a comedic duo and they help create a story that is both hilariously ridiculous and heartwarmingly touching. This is a must-see film.
There aren't a lot of Thanksgiving movies, but this is definitely the best!
Very little actually needs to be said about "Planes, Trains & Automobiles", because this is indeed a classic comedy from the late 1980s, and if you aren't already familiar with it, then it is about due time to take the time to do so.The movie stars two of the biggest comedy names from the late 1980s; that being Steve Martin and John Candy. So it is very difficult not to be familiar with this movie, especially if you enjoy the comedy genre and if you are a fan of either of these two funny men."Planes, Trains & Automobiles" is about Neal Page (played by Steve Martin) who finds his flight back home for Thanksgiving to be canceled due to bad weather. Neal reluctantly teams up with shower curtain rings salesman Del Griffith (played by John Candy) in order to trek back home through more conventional means of transportation. But the trek back home is not an uneventful or particularly trouble-free one...There are so many hilarious scenes and moments in this movie that it would simply be too tiresome to have to point them all out. "Planes, Trains & Automobiles" is filled with plenty of good laughs, and writer/director John Hughes really put together a memorable and very entertaining story and movie.The cast in the movie was quite good, and there is no doubt about it that the impact of the movie is due to the comedy team up between John Candy and Steve Martin, as they have amazing chemistry together on the screen.I have watched "Planes, Trains & Automobiles" a bunch of times since it was first released, both on VHS back in the day and later on DVD. And it is a movie that I will frequently return to watch because it is quite entertaining.
