Rating: Summary: Peed my Pants Review: Oh my goodness! Who on earth wrote that review for Amazon? Every single time I watch this movie I almost pee my pants. No kidding. And I must have seen it about 100 times. My husband NEVER laughs at movies, and he was rolling on the floor -- literally. You cannot go wrong with this movie. John Candy and Steve Martin at their best. Also, my husband and his college buddies used to watch the movie and do the "word count" during the car rental scene. You'll see what I mean.... Enjoy!
Rating: Summary: Classic Comedy Holiday Fare Review: What the movie It's Wonderful Life does for Holiday drama, Martin and Candy do for Holiday comedy is the hilarious film. It's in the top 5 comedies in my opinion. The scene where Martin stumbles back into the airport rental car area to confront the receptionist is one of the classic (and in many instances) the most realistic and identifiable scenes that viewers can relate to when traveling. This scene is definitely not for children. We can certainly understand the frustrations of Martin when it comes to dealing with airports and rental car companies. Also, the pick-up truck scene is another classic scene. Yet, with all the laughter, the ending grabbed my throat and just makes us appreciate the basic things we want and need during the holidays and throughout the year.A truly enjoyable film that you can never tire of watching.
Rating: Summary: Best Laugh Ever Review: This movie has the potential for ongoing laughter. I mean the kind of laughter that makes your sides hurt!
Rating: Summary: I disagree with Amazon's review! Review: This movie is absolutely hilarious! I totally disagree that this movie is not as funny as it could have been. John Candy and Steve Martin have done a fabulous job in this hilarious "get me home" caper. Martin is trying to get home to his family for the holidays but runs into several problems along the way. Candy plays the annoying "won't go away" man that pops up everywhere Martin doesn't want him to be. This has been one of my favorite movies since the the day it came out. An absolute must for fans of Candy or Martin or someone who just wants to laugh their pants off! I give it a thumbs up and 5 stars!
Rating: Summary: My favorite comedy of all time! Review: This movie is a must if you have a friend or a relative who travels for work. I was a consultant for three years and can't tell you how many things in this movie can really happen to you. Candy and Martin are great together and perfect for the role!
Rating: Summary: A Family Classic Review: We travel to Chicago every Thanksgiving and after the turkey is cleaned up we light the fire and throw this movie in the VCR. We have watched it every Thanksgiving for TEN years. It is classic comedy. John Candy was born for this role. He manages to be obnoxious and lovable. The mark of a fine actor. Steve Martin makes you sympathise with him while you want to kick him for his arrogance. When he dresses John Candy down in the hotel I just want to cry. Our Thanksgiving would not be complete without this movie. The only bad part is that the viewing is now bittersweet with John Candy gone.
Rating: Summary: A Thanksgiving holiday event! Review: After seeing Steve Martin in sillier roles, it was almost difficult in the beginning to accept him as the straight man, but he pulled it off flawlessly. John Candy couldn't have been better. The dialogue, the characters, the locations...it all makes for one of those rare movies you can watch over and over again.
Rating: Summary: A hilarious comedy to watch with all your friends. Review: I saw this movie years ago and I still laugh like it is the first time I have seen it 100 viewings later. My best friend and I think that the pairing of Steve Martin and John Candy is one of the best. The funny antics and one liners never end in this comedic masterpiece.
Rating: Summary: It was a good movie filled with laughter and heart break. Review: This movie was great I love the character that Steve Martin played in the film, he was very good John Candy also was a very good character he was funny and annoying just like the part called for. I also loved the part were Del says "I'v never seen a guy get lifted up by his testicles before" and then Niel started to talk in that high voice I almaost pissed in my pance it was hilarious. I also thought it wass sad at the end when Niel finds out that Del does not have a home. The movie was very well directed and the actors were fantastic.
Rating: Summary: The funniest movie I've ever seen Review: I never get tired of watching this film.Both characters,through out the movie,just feed on one another as the film gains momentum like a forest fire out of control! You could fully empathize with Steve Martin's character as he's forced to deal with one bad situation after another with John Candy. This movie is great if you ever need to laugh and just forget about everything.
