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!

    Stands the test of time and is funny, heartwarming and quite sad when Neil takes Del to meet his family at the end. John Hughes you genius.

    This is the my number one comedy, must have seen it about 12 times and always laugh at the same jokes. The writing is brilliant, performances from Steve Martin and John Candy is great. I can count on 1 hand the comedies that I will watch over and over, this is the best of them.
