Summary: Exceptional Comedy! John Candy's Finest Hour!
Review: I LOVE THIS MOVIE! I first saw it 5 years ago and I recently got the video. It has a fantastic storyline and it is VERY FUNNY! There are too many funny scenes in this movie to even start mentioning! The sad part is that this movie would've been perfect if not for the swearing of Steve Martin at the airport which automatically makes this movie a cert 15. It's a shame that they had to go ahead with all of that language on this movie as up until then it would've been a PG family flick. But other than that (which is sorta funny anyway! LOL) you'll laugh out loud at these two great actors doin' their stuff onscreen. AN INSPIRED DUO!

Summary: This IS funny
Review: Probably one of the best comedies ever made. Steve Martin, John Candy... You will love it. I do. But if you aren't a fan of movies like Family Lampoons, Fletch, Funny Farm, Three Amigos, What about Bob... It's likely that you won't like this one either. Viktor

Summary: One of my favorite movies of all time
Review: Simply put, this is one of my favorite movies of all time and I'm no kid. It helps that the co-stars were and are two comic geniuses. If you have an IQ in a range worth mentioning and you'd like to own a movie that is both memorable and that will make you laugh, buy this DVD, own it and watch it when you're feeling like some good, clean fun. Watch for interesting cameo appearances too.

Summary: nothing special
Review: I give this 2 & 1/2 stars. This movie had some amusing moments, but was definitely not as funny as I had expected, given that I had read the reviews prior to watching. If you want a funny John Candy movie, rent (or buy) Uncle Buck or The Great Outdoors or even Canadian Bacon.

Summary: One of the best comedys of all time
Review: I have to admit that the only reason I got this DVD is because my VCR chewed up my VHS copy. I have heard a lot of people complaning that This DVD have no extra features and well I guess it does not . But this is one very funny movie and the picture and sound are both digital. So if you like this classic movie by all means get this one . And remember that the picture and sound quality are the real reasons why DVD players were created.

Summary: Non-Stop Laughs!!!
Review: This has got to be one of the funniest movies ever made. I saw this movie for the first time about five years ago and every time I've seen it since, I've laughed just as hard as the first. John Candy plays the roll of "Dell" so well this probably makes this his best movie. My favorite seen in this movie has got to be when they're in the rental car, going the wrong way on the freeway and they go between the two semis. It is so funny, I am laughing about it while I'm writing this review. If you haven't seen this movie yet, go out and rent it. And if you like it, come back here and buy it. I can almost guarantee you will.

Summary: Humanity as an Icebreaker
Review: Candy and Martin overcome obstacles to reach Chicago...and each other. John's brave facade in response to the despair in his life--as evident in his closing fixed smile--made this the only movie that caused me to laugh until I was sad. It hurts when I laugh.

Summary: All hail comic kings Martin & Candy
Review: I first saw this movie when 8 and didn't think much of it. Then I saw it again when I was 10 and I loved it. The way Martin & Candy play their roles is spectacular, I like the moods Steve Martin's in when he says his funniest lines & given John Candy's huge tribute to all the humor in this movie it almost makes up for The Great Outdoors. So go ahead & buy it you won't regret it.

Summary: A hilarious tale of [forced] friendship - excellent movie
Review: I have seen this over 100 times - I pop it in whenever I need a good laugh. Steve Martin and the late John Candy were perfect for their respective roles as an over-conservative-and-too-clean businessman and a trying-too-hard-to-make-friends anecdotal inconsiderate wanderer; both just trying to get from New York to Chicago in time for Thanksgiving. And the way these two end up struggling to get where they're going, and how they grow to become friends, makes for a hilarious heart-warming movie that I love to watch over and over. Excellent!

Summary: Best Steve Martin Film Ever
Review: Okay, you may not agree with that statement -- though I do believe it's true .... ... still, this is one great film. Steve Martin plays the straight New York Ad Executive who's trying to get home to his family for Thanksgiving. John Candy plays a bumbling shower ring salesman who "steals" Martin's taxi -- from there the humor never stops. Martin gets stuck with Candy at every turn and goes through a series of some of the funniest sequences you'll ever see. Eventually Steve sees the 'inner John' and they become friends. Yep, this DVD is priced a bit on the high side. Not really sure why, but then again, it's one you'll watch again and again. And it's suitable for the whole family; as the more sordid scenes are merely by inuindo. The younger set simply won't understand why mom, dad and the older siblings are rolling on the floor, clutching their aching sides. However, there's enough visual humor that all except a babe in arms will enjoy the movie. Take it from someone who's not a die-hard Steve Martin fan -- this film is worth having in your private library. ~P~
