Review of Planes, Trains and Automobiles (1987) by Doug K — 21 Nov 2012
One of my favorite John Hughes films is this 1987 road movie about two strangers (Steve Martin and John Candy) who use several forms of transportation to get home for Thanksgiving. Some of the humor is a bit crude ("Those aren't pillows!"), but Martin does a great stressed-out businessman; Edie McClurg's car rental agent is a stitch ("Gobble, gobble"); and Candy's shower-curtain-ring salesman, Del Griffith, starts off as every traveler's nightmare but emerges as the heart and soul of this comedy.
