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 miser. Miser 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 nghtmare in a comedy-come-true!
"PLANES, TRAINS AND AUTOMOBILES finally seals its bond with the audience in the same way that Martin and Candy seal theirs, with a sly, shy resort to sentiment." Richard Schickel, TIME

Comments
A classic holiday film that delivers an unexpected sucker punch. Like Eddie Murphy, I miss the days when Steve Martin was funny. I just always miss John Candy.
