    Amazon.com essential video
    Given the presence of both Steve Martin and John Candy, one would expect this John Hughes comedy to be much, much funnier than it is. Certainly it's not for lack of effort on the part of its stars. Martin is an uptight businessman trying to get home from New York for the holidays. But one thing after another gets in his way--most of it having to do with Candy, a boorish but well-meaning boob who takes a liking to him. Together they travel all over the map; no matter how hard Martin tries to shake him, he can't. But Hughes's writing is never as sharp as it should be and this film winds up being only intermittently humorous. --Marshall Fine

    5 out of 5 stars Great purchase   February 6, 2010

    This is a great Holiday video, one of the best. It's so funny and heart warming. One movie you just have to see.

    This movie is great. Steve Martin and the Late John Candy really do a good job with this one. People getting along. This has the late John Hughes touch to it with the music and just the overall feel to it. Back in baby arms with emmy lou singing and steve and john waking up in that hotel scene is one of the funny things recorded to film. I miss john candy and john hughes. I think Steve would think of this with fond memories. Merry Christmas.. Happy Holidays..

    PLANES, TRANES AND AUTOMOBILES has deservedly become a classic in it's own right. There is something very likable about this movie and it's characters. John Candy is perfect as the obese and talkative (but still lovable) shower ring salesman. Steve Martin is superb as the uptight business man who as to deal with Candy's antics. These men get into many outragous situations with hilarious results. The slap stick in this movie is laugh out loud funny although the premise is a bit thin. The movie actually has quite a touching ending with everything working out. A very funny movie for older kids and their parents to watch at Thanksgiving.


    4 out of 5 stars Del And Neal's Excellent Adventure   November 27, 2009
    Susan Y. Schoonover (Boulder, CO)
    1 out of 1 found this review helpful

    I've been hearing for years that PLANES, TRAINS AND AUTOMOBILES is absolutely hilarious and "the" perfect Thanksgiving movie. So this Thanksgiving my family and I watched it and though we laughed out loud several times the movie wasn't quite the continuous laugh festival I was expecting. Steve Martin is no wild and crazy guy in this movie but an exasperated uptight business man with the "perfect" family waiting for him in their lovely suburban Chicago home. John Candy is great as the endearingly annoying Del but his weight and cigarette smoking throughout the film struck me as sad when I remembered his premature death in real life. And because of some real salty language this one definitely isn't for the little ones or anyone easily offended by "certain" words and outrageous situations. Still, I have to agree it is probably one of the top movies set during Thanksgiving week that will give most people some real belly laughs.


    5 out of 5 stars Likely John Hughes' Best   October 9, 2009

    1 out of 1 found this review helpful

    Perhaps my most watched DVD, because it continues to return laughs every time. Career-topping performances by two great comedic actors, ranging from subtle sincerity to slapstick, as they attempt to make their way home for Thanksgiving via any mode of transport available. Continually driving forward with a sweet ending. The soundtrack is dated and an unfortunate filler at times, but hardly can be said to mar this film, which was the best of 1980s screwball comedy and presents a telling image of masculinity when contrasted to the macho action films of the decade.

    Other Hughes fans may dispute my review title, I'm sure. Hear me out; while Breakfast Club and Ferris Buehler may have charted new territory by addressing teenage issues with maturity and wit, this film has a timeless quality to its treatment of the road/buddy film and will continue to endure as a Holiday classic.

    *Note - October 2009 release slated to include additional features including a deleted scene (that sometimes appeared in TV versions) and a making-of. No commentaries though, on either version, which is disappointing.
