Synopsis
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 traveler's nightmare in a comedy-come-true!

Road Trip! - 3.5 out of 5  (11/11/2000)
Just in time for Thanksgiving, comes one of the best comedies of the 1980's, and perhaps the best movie ever to come from writer/director John Hughes. All ad executive Neal Page (Steve Martin) wants is to get back to his home in Chicago for Thanksgiving dinner with his family, but instead he winds up spending his holidays with the turkey: a large, chatter-mouthed buffoon by the name of Del Griffith (John Candy). Watching Planes, Trains and Automobiles has become a annual ritual at my   more >>

Top notch film, no extras! - 2.5 out of 5  (11/21/2000)
This is one of the best comedies of the 80's. Sure it treads a fine line between sugary schmaltz and slapstick comedy but you always feel that it's got it's heart in the right place. Steve Martin's career took a severe nose dive after this film which is a real shame as he is fantastic in this, as is John Candy. But Paramount has gone and just wasted what could of been a monumental release buy putting out this extras free disc. Paramount! Scene selection is not a special feature! And laughably it   more >>
