Summary: it's the best comedy ever
Review: it's a great film and there are many great resons to own it and will have you rolling on the floor, with laughter. The best reson to own it, is becuse it's the only movie you will see john candy and steve martin together.
It was also witten produced and directed by John Hughes. But it needs the special edition treatment, and it's worth the money to invest in. One: a documentaries on the making of the film. Two: deleted seens with director commentary. Three: audio commentary by john hughes and his thoughts on the make of the film. And it would be nice to here steve martin's thoughts as well. well that is it. Ther rest is up to you. Ps pleace to not retire mister hughes.

Summary: You'll love this, if you have a pulse
Review: Groaner from Guy Mills, PA: you are the antidote to exhileration. How you can find this movie less than hilarious is beyond me. Oh, well. There's always someone who doesn't get it, no matter how good the movie is.I found it totally funny. I loved every part of this movie, and Steve Martin and John Candy have never been better. For anyone who is curious, I promise you that this movie will make you laugh. If not, please someone, get this patient some oxygen, stat, he's defibrillating.

Summary: This has to be one of the funniest movies ever
Review: And to the lone negative reviewer of the movie itself, NO I wasnt drunk. In fact I dont drink. This movie is funny from beginning to end. What is funny is that this can actually happen to someone. The hells of travel during the holidays. This person, Neil Page, never had the end of it. We find out that the funny man Nel Griffith, is not as "happy" as it seems. All in all an excellent movie. I recommend you get the DVD or VHS!

Summary: my favorite movie - ever!
Review: This would have to be the best movie of all time in my opinion. The review at the top of the page is downright mean! Alot of people don't find it funny for some reason, but if you like Steve Martin and John Candy you most certainly will. The plot is excellent and quite simple, but nonetheless this is the kind of movie you will want to watch over and over.

Summary: Thank You John Hughes!
Review: There's probably no better way to top off a Thanksgiving weekend then sitting down with friends or family and popping in this John Hughes' classic. Without question, this is one of the better road movies made in years ("Tommy Boy" comes close).
Someone needs to do a John Hughes retrospective someday on how he tapped into the American consciousness in the 80s. John Candy is at his best and Steve Martin shines brilliantly.

Summary: Aaron, I can answer your question
Review: Because this movie is not funny. Steve Martin and John Candy stars in this not funny movie, or you can say comedy wannabe. Last night, I watched another movie that wanted to be a comedy but wasn't, and that was Baseketball. This movie got a R rated rating, and the only reason I know of is lanuage. Paramount made and relased this movie. John Candy that went to do Uncle Buck, Home Alone, The Great Outdoors, Rookie of the Year, and Wagon's East before dying of a heart attack in 1994. As the movie opens, a marking consultant (Steve Martin) is in a rush to catch a plane to Chicago from New York for Thanksgiving. He gets to the airport in time to find out the plane has been delayed, so after waiting a couple of hours, he boards a plane but finds that instead of flying first class, he winds up in coach, and has a seat to a man (John Candy) that is also heading to Chicago, but instead the plane makes s detour to Wichita. Both Martin and Candy both spend a night in an inn where they are end up in room together only to discover in the morning, they have been robbed.

Summary: Those aren't pillows.....ARGH !!!!!
Review: How can this not be funny to anyone? Absolute hilarious Candy in the best role ever, and Steve Martin as the cynical and fussy Neil Page. The best part : When they finish flying between two 18 wheelers and then brake so hard that you hear silence, yet their trunk goes flying into the nighttime sky......and then the car catches on fire! HAHAHA

Summary: Steve and John: How Not to Travel
Review: Steve Martin is a family man who doesn't know how good he's got it. John Candy is a traveling salesman who turns everything he comes in contact with into crap. The two of them together are priceless as they try every available means of transport, including a livestock truck, to get them home in time for Thanksgiving. John Hughes' formula, which is sometimes tiring and predictable, works here because both Martin and Candy are brilliant.

Summary: True Travel horror stories
Review: What can I say. ANYONE who travels a lot on business or for whatever reason has their own horror stories that make great cocktail stories years later. This is one long true travel story, albeit a little over the top, but not much. Many of us have sat next to or traveled with a "shower curtain ring" salesman, or some "full of himself" exec; had flights delayed, canceled, return to the same airport we just left; dealt with stolen or missing rental cars; ridden in pickups with the floorboards gone in January, etc, etc. Every Thanksgiving holiday we get together with 2 others families to watch it, tell travel stories, and commiserate with both John Candy and Steve Martin. In the end, we thank God we all finally arrive home, like Steve and John, and have a family to share it with.

Summary: A GREAT MOVIE!
Review: Not only is this movie hilarious, it also has a good drama story that is intertwined into the comedy, making it a perfect movie. While this isn't Candy's best work, it is up there at the top. Steve Martin is hilarious (as usual), but my favorite film of his is Little Shop of Horrors. 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. Don't listen to the "critic" Marshall Fine, because I guess this film is just over his head. The writting is perfect, the acting is perfect, the plot is perfect, there is nothing wrong with this movie. Those who like films such as Black Knight and American Pie, probably won't appreciate this as much, because this has something called plot wich neither Black Knight or American Pie had. This is supperior to those lesser films, so buy this one now!
