Summary: Extremely boring
Review: After reading several reviews here I was expecting much more --i.e., a fast paced comedy with inteligent jokes and wit. In fact, this is sort of a TV film, with very poor direction, extremely slow and outdated (just check the horrible music: is very early nineties). It is really very boring or perhaps I missed something. Within this kind of commedy films, I think Eddie Murphy's are better or even "Home Alone".

Summary: Heartstoppingly Funny
Review: Originally released in 1987, "Planes, Trains And Automobiles" stands as one of my all - time favorite movies. The writing is sharp and witty, the laughs are nonstop, and the action is absolutely superb, especially the late, great John Candy.Steve Martin is Neal Page, an ad exec on a business trip who wants to fly back to Chicago so he can spend Thanksgiving with his family. Unfortunately, things that go as planned. First, he can't catch a cab. And to make matters worse, his 6:00 flight has been cancelled. While waiting for a later flight, he meets Del Griffith, an overweight blabbermouth who smokes cigarettes and sells shower curtains for a living. It seems that Neil can't escape Dell. First, he sits next to him on the plane, during which he chews his ear off before falling asleep. Soon, the plane lands in Wichita because of a snow storm in Chicago. Neil and Dell share a room together, which is disasterous. They wind up travelling across the country by car, bus and train. The laughs keep coming, and Candy steals the show. I highly recommend this film if you love to laugh. This film has some of the funniest comedy sequences I've ever seen, and again, John Candy is hilarious. We miss you, John!

Summary: This movie has become our Thanksgiving tradition
Review: Every Thanksgiving our family watches P,T,& A. It goes with Thanksgiving just like turkey and the Lions game. Steve and John are great together, and this flick has many memorable scenes that will keep you howling with laughter. There's another side to this movie too, which is typical in a John Hughs comedy. There is a little heartstring tugging here, but not enough to bring the viewer down. When Steve goes back to the airport to see about getting his rental car, you may have to cover the kids ears, other than that, it's a great movie for the family. Watch for the cameo by Kevin Bacon as he races Steve for a New York taxi.

Summary: just plain hilerious
Review: This is such a great movie. It's so incredibly funny, yet touches everyone in a certain way. The title is pretty self-explanatory. A man (Steve Martin) desperetly tries to get home in time for Thanksgiving with the "help" of bumbling yet funny Del (John Candy in his best role). One of my favorite lines is when Martin tries to get a room, and says "Have mercy! I've been wearing the same underwear since Tuesday!"
This is a must see classic, not for the family so much, but still great to watch.

Summary: Save it for a really bad day
Review: Save this movie for a bad day, and you'll double the laughs. Candy and Martin take the spirit of Oscar and Felix, and go way, overboard. Prissy executive Steve Martin desperately wants to get home to his perfect family for Thanksgiving and is thwarted in every possible way - especially after he teams up with the brash and wonderfully crass "go with the flow" John Candy. Pure howlingly funny nonsense with a bit of sentiment tossed in. Anyone who has endured a travel nightmare will identify. Yes, it's a classic.

Summary: A classic.
Review: This movie is destined to be a classic, if not already. Steve Martin and John Candy have the greatest chemistry, providing some of cinema's greatest one liners.. "those aren't pillows!"
"I felt like a whopper. Turn me over, I'm done on this side."
"We were robbed!"..."You think?"
"You spilled beer all over the bed!"..."Sorry, I never knew those bottles would blow like that." The story follows Steve Martin's desperate attempt to find his way home for thanksgiving. And as the title suggests, he begins his journey by plane, which then leads him to a train, and then finally by automobile. Yet, ironically, he finds himself right back where he started after each attempt -- with John Candy. I loved this movie not only because it makes me laugh harder than any other, but because as in most of Candy's movies, it has that sentimental queality to it. It has the parts that become much too serious for a comedy, but understandibly work in each case. The pairing of these two comedic actors was aboslutely genius. You will not find a movie that successfully mixes comedy and heart at this magnitude.

Summary: Please don't feed the critic...
Review: ...this is a great film. I've seen it perhaps two dozens times since it's theatrical release and it still makes me laugh. In my opinion, this is Candy at his best and classic Martin. If John Hughes films interest you at all, this film is a must. We miss you John.

Summary: Funniest Movie I've Seen in a Long Time
Review: I saw this movie last night on Cinemax and I laughed continually. I was trying to be quiet. My husband was sleeping. I couldn't sleep. I turned the TV on because movies usually put me to sleep, but this one didn't. I watched the whole thing. It was both touching and funny. John Candy and Steve Martin were great together. There were even times when I got teary eyed. I loved it.
